It's Never Too Late to Ask
It's never too late to scour your donor records to see which of your top donors have not given this year, or given at a level commensurate with their past history or capacity, or are behind on a gift commitment.
The simple fact is — we all need to be prompted and reminded.
Asking is a natural part of a donor relationship. We invest our resources — time, money and other assets - in people and organizations we believe in wholeheartedly.
