FUNDRAISING! THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION! The most important question is one you should ask IMMEDIATELY BEFORE you ask, “Would you consider….. ? “ Questions you can use are: What do you like about the organization? Why have you been so generous to the organization? These types of questions validate your ask and puts the donor in a positive mood to give. Replace “organization” with the name of your organization.

FUNDRAISING! When constructing your strategy for cultivation and making “The Ask”, realize that generation is as important as gender when working with a Major Donor/Prospective Donor. Typically, donors over the age of 70 like to give gifts that rescue the organization. Major donors under the age of 50 desire to give to growth, expansion, and progress. In other words, major donors over 70 like to save a sinking ship. Donors under 50 view their gifts similar to an investment. They give to a ship that is going strong and shows promise to go even faster. Donors between 50 and 70….. good luck. Include targeted active listening in your cultivation activities for this group.
