Asking Without Anxiety Level II

For those who have completed Level I and are ready to dive deeper into building relationships with donors in meaningful ways.

Asking Without Anxiety Level II is designed to support you in gaining confidence, being more prepared, and feeling less anxious in donor conversations.

Why Join?

In this lively three-hour workshop you will:

✔ Develop your “curious listening” questions to help match your organization’s work and mission with your donors’ philanthropic goals.

✔ Articulate your “case for support” and clarify your plans for using collateral material.

✔ Learn tips and tools for setting an “ask” amount, making a “double ask,” asking for campaign and planned giving, and using a proposal with a donor.

✔ Practice making a donor ask in a small supportive group.
