We almost always need more resources than we have, so how, exactly, do we get everything we need to accomplish our mission? By making the strongest asks possible.
In this webinar, we review the key elements of an individual giving program and demonstrate a variety of approaches to making “a big ask.” We brush up on the basics, show common situations fundraisers face, and even explore some asks that can be more valuable than a big check. Join us for this fun, interactive “what’s happening in the real donor ask world” session with Katie and Trevor.
