Making the Ask

Recorded On: 05/04/2023

OVERVIEW

Soliciting gifts face-to-face - whether done in-person or virtually - is one of the most important skills a frontline fundraiser can possess. This is especially true in annual giving. Too often, though, gift officers make their ask without being properly prepared. Soliciting the right people in the right way at the right time will not only help you secure more gifts, but it will help cultivate strong donor relationships over the long term.
