Presenter: Gayle Gifford
The late Yoga Berra once said ‘You can see a lot just by looking.” True that. And guess what, you can hear a lot just by listening. Listening is a critical skill for fundraisers. It is an important component for development or strategic planning, for engaging in partnerships and for strengthening your relations with donors. And a great way for board members to practice becoming ambassadors for your organization. Let’s learn together who, what and how to ask and what to do with the information you collect. You’ll also practice some deep listening yourself.
