Guest Tinki Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Ten rules to help anyone become a better fundraiser These are just some things to consider. 1.Ask for a gift, don't wait. Another will ask if you don't. 2.Be professional and look professional. 3.Be accountable - personally, and for your nonprofit. 4.Be honest. Listen to your heart; it's more honest than your mind. 5.Speak with conviction for your cause. 6.If you can't, recruit someone who can. 7.A prospect is simply a donor without motivation. You provide motivation. 8.A donor is a fundraiser who has yet to share their conviction with a friend. Ask them to. 9.A good fundraiser, then, is a friendly motivator. It's that simple. 10.A successful fundraiser has thick skin, a soft heart, exceptional hearing, a quick mind, a slow tongue and no shame - at least when it comes to asking for a gift!
