Who Says There’s Only ONE Right Way to Ask?

The breakthrough concept of Asking Styles makes it possible for anyone to become a more effective fundraiser. Your Asking Style is based on your personality and unique set of strengths when asking for gifts. 

Once you understand your strengths – and challenges – you’ll be comfortable, confident and effective. You’ll have a roadmap for talking with donors. You’ll know what to say, how to conduct meetings, and how to close gifts successfully.

Nonprofit staff, board members, volunteers and the community at large are invited to attend and learn how to make an effective ask.
