The Ask

Jason Dick at A Small Change is focused on "The Ask" in many of his posts this past month. He's got some little gems of wisdom I want to remember and share. As a development professional who went straight from working as a Grantwriter to a Development Director position, it's helpful for me to hear from folks who are willing to talk about the nuts and bolts of this aspect of fundraising. What do you ACTUALLY SAY during those lunch meetings? Well here's what Jason would say:

To ASSURE a Gift you should Ask Out Loud then Be Quiet.

Check out all three posts. And forgive Jason the groan-worthy "ASKronym". It's useful stuff.
