The Art and Science of the Ask
I was recently invited to sit in on a mock presentation where the real presentation is going to be given to a donor to ask for a sizable major gift.
This organization has been working on this gift for months. At the end of the presentation I was in awe. Not just because the person delivering the presentation and ask was amazing (that was true), but because of the amount of preparation, thought and hard work put together by several departments that came together to make this happen.
