Using Permission-Based Asking with Your Donors and Securing Meetings
Whether you’re asking for a gift, or proposing a meeting – how do you do it in a way that honors the donor as a partner in your mission? We developed our Permission-Based Asking™️ model as a framework for more authentic dialogue. No more guessing what your donor is thinking or making assumptions about what’s going on for them. When you align with the donor throughout the conversation, you’re getting their buy-in before moving forward with an ask, so they’ll never be caught off guard.
Bringing Your Authentic Self to Your Work
Many non-profit employees say that their workplace culture has created an environment where they’re not comfortable or do not feel safe bringing their authentic selves to work. And this is particularly damaging in fundraising, where you need to bring a certain amount of vulnerability because of the deeply personal nature of your work with donors. To help promote authenticity in non-profit organizations, we’ve invited two special guests, Paul Towne and Rachel Wyley, to guide us along this journey toward authenticity.
