Real Talk for Real Fundraisers

Listen Later

In this re-release of our all-time most popular episode, Richard and Jeff share 15 questions for you to use in conversation with your donors to help you better understand their passions, interests, and goals for their giving.

No matter what you think you know about your donor, always stay curious about their story. Do you really know why they give to your organization?

Your donors want to be known. When you ask these kinds of open-ended questions, it creates an opportunity for deeper connection with your donors.

Show Highlights: In this episode, you’ll learn about…

  • How to take your donor relationships deeper by staying curious
  • Specific questions to ask your donors so that you can better understand their passions and bring them more joy in their giving
  • Why it’s so important to know the specific drivers behind your donor’s giving
