What has been your organization’s major challenge when it comes
to soliciting major gifts?
— FS Advisor, March 14

My biggest hurdle has been getting to an actual, live person who can get me in the door. If I can get in front of someone’s face, I can usually get at least some donation. But more often than not, I wind up in “voice mail hell” or leaving messages several times with no response. That’s the biggest
frustration to me.
