Ben Case has had a long series of tips on “How to build a major gift culture.” The last of six well-developed points is The Power of Asking. The biggest reason people do not donate is because they are not asked! You can offer them the chance to participate in building a better world – in turning their resources into the “gold” of a better society. They expect to be asked and you will get valuable feedback. Initially, you may not talk about money – people respond to being asked a favor – to contributing information, advice or gifts. Listening is an important part of building a good relationship. The daily tips are stimulating and over time you will surely get some good ideas how to improve your fundraising.
