We know lots about online fundraising at Qgiv. But we don’t have a ton of experience with offline fundraising, which is super important to a nonprofit’s health. Offline relationships — especially with major donors — are critical… so we’re thrilled to have Claire Axelrad do a webinar with us on how to make a great ask from a major donor.
Claire runs a blog called Clairification, which is chock-full of awesome insights. Check out this article, for example: it breaks down how to lay a foundation of offline interactions, learn about your major donor, and make an effective ask.
The webinar will cover:
- 3 Keys to Overcome Asking Anxiety
- Get the Visit
- Determine Your Ask Amount
- Prepare and Practice
- How to Open
- Make your Passionate Pitch
- Conversation: Listen and Observe
- Specific Ask
- Silence is Golden
- Overcome Resistance
- Close and Follow Up
- Avoid Common Pitfalls
