Too often, the only question a fundraiser has about a prospective donor is: "How much can I ask him for?" When we don't focus on the passions and vision of donors, we are leaving a lot of money on the table . . . But many fundraisers are unskilled and lacking in confidence on how to talk about these deep, personal issues.
Join Laura Waller as she focuses on a few pages from Micheal J. Rosen's Book - Donor-Centered Planned Gift Marketing. We will discuss What People Want - and how to give it to them! Gain the clarity that leads to increased income for your nonprofit . . .
