Real Talk for Real Fundraisers

Re-Release: Using Permission-Based Asking with Your Donors and Securing Meetings


Listen Later

It’s the most intimidating part of fundraising: asking someone for a gift.  


But that’s not the only thing that fundraisers need to ask for. You’re also requesting meetings, inviting donors to attend events, and asking them to share the personal drivers behind their giving.  


So, whatever you’re asking for – how do you do it in a way that honors the donor as a partner in your mission? 


We developed our Permission-Based Asking™ model as a framework for more authentic dialogue. No more guessing what your donor is thinking or making assumptions about what’s going on for them.  


This episode is a re-release of one of our most-downloaded podcast episodes on asking, featuring Karen Kendrick, our Senior Director of Client Engagement, and Debi Dunham, Senior Client Experience Leader. Listen in to hear some real-life examples of how a permission-based approach to asking can transform your donor relationships. 


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

  • How Permission-Based Asking™ works to build collaborative dialogue  
    • Strategies to practice and develop your asking skills in any context 
      • Results from Veritus clients who’ve used Permission-Based Asking with their donors 
      • ...more
