My Gift to You
Gift your favorite organizations an Asking Matters membership…
…and make an incredible difference at the organizations you love.
Help as many organizations as you want – no limit to how many memberships you buy!
Did you know?
88% of all charitable gifts come from individuals…
…and the biggest individual gifts come from in-person asks!
Yet most staff and board members aren’t trained to ask!
We can do better!
In fact, it’s critical that we do better for the staff and boards at the organizations we care about.
I felt so strongly about this that 7 years ago I created Asking Matters to help my fellow fundraisers do just that.
And while I still make major gift asks, lead capital campaigns, and provide trainings for clients like The Salvation Army, the U.S. Olympics Committee, NPR, Prevent Child Abuse America, and so many more great nonprofits, I’m most proud of the positive changes so many fundraising professionals have made through their membership in Asking Matters.
Simply put, Asking Matters has enabled so many more nonprofits to thrive and grow. The impact has been enormous.
And now, you can gift a tax-deductible* Asking Matters membership to any and all organizations you care about at an amazing discount:
$18/mo (usually $29/mo) – continues until you email me to stop
$180/year – expires in a year, with an opportunity to renew or opt out
When you give the gift of Asking Matters membership, here’s what your organization gets…
Incredible content delivered to them weekly so that they learn:
- How to apply their Asking Style all throughout the asking process to take advantage of their unique personality traits
- How to develop their strongest case for support
- What to do when they face resistance to meeting
- How to get their board to give its biggest gifts and actually fundraise
- How to build their prospect list
- How to make sure they ask for the right amount
- … and more
All the content is delivered in bite-sized chunks with a focus on implementation over theory. I know how busy everyone is, and I want them to get out there asking!
Expert Webinars presented regularly by top fundraising experts like Jerry Panas, Amy Eisenstein, Jeff Brooks, Tom Ahern, Lori Jacobwith, Andrea Kihlstedt and more. The value of these webinars all by themselves is worth at least 10 times what membership costs.
Regular Opportunities to Ask the Expert – me! – any questions they have. This is their opportunity for a deeper dive on how to apply learing to specific needs.
A Community of Fellow Askers from around the country and the world. Fundraisers with similar experiences – development professionals, executive directors, board members, consultants and more. To share struggles, learn from each other, and compare notes. The opportunity to connect with so many others who know exactly what they’re dealing with is invaluable.
A Vast Array of Downloadable Resources – exercises, sample materials, guides and more.
Simply put, there is NO better resource on asking face-to-face out there.
Give the gift of membership today. Offer good until November 9th.
Note: This is something you yourself must purchase for an individual at the organization as a way to help it. This offer cannot be transferred to an organization or another individual. And it isn’t for people you know – just for you!
*Gifts of membership are tax-deductible as long as you are not receiving any direct benefit.
