It's Never Too Late to Ask
Our greatest successes are rooted in asking people who are already connected to us. Asking is a part of genuine relationship building. In asking, you will be able to glean more about the donor's interests, concerns and circumstances, and you are really asking your best friends to vote with their wallet or pocketbook.
Looking for Jeff? You'll find him either on the lake, laughing with good friends, or helping nonprofits develop to their full potential.
Jeff believes that successful fundraising is built on a bedrock of relevant, consistent messaging; sound practices; the nurturing of relationships; and impeccable stewardship. And that organizations that adhere to those standards serve as beacons to others that aspire to them. The Bedrocks & Beacons blog will provide strategic information to help nonprofits be both.
Jeff has more than 25 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is a member of the NonProfit PRO Editorial Advisory Board.
