ASKING MATTERS trains fundraisers to be more effective.
88% of all donations come from individuals – are your staff and board members out there meeting with them one-on-one? Just imagine the benefits of a fundraising team that is equipped with confidence, vision, and support.
We’ll help your frontline fundraisers:
- Create authentic, personalized cases for support
- Effectively use their personal strengths to cultivate and solicit donors
- Confidently approach donors in person
- Understand what their fundraising role is – and isn’t
- Ask for the gift at the right moment in the right way
- Ask powerful questions and be better listeners
Our Training is Unique

We hosted Brian for our November Women in Development program, “What is Your Asking Style?” After the presentation, a professional in the industry for over 20 years came up to me and said this was the best program they have been to and they were enlightened with [Brian’s] wealth of information.
Erica Warner, Program Co-Chair, Women in Develop of Northeast New York
Thank you for a fantastic webinar today on "Amazingly Successful Face-to-Face Solicitations." It was one of the best, if not the best, webinar I've attended. You were able to take a sometimes overwhelming topic and reduce it to concise fundamentals we can put into practice.
Tom Wessel, Community Outreach and Development Manager, Eagle Valley Land Trust, Edwards, CO
We use our three proprietary systems – the Asking Styles, the Five Steps of the Ask, and the Arc of the Ask – to train staff and board members to cultivate and solicit donors comfortably and effectively.
We combine on-site and online training to reinforce concepts over time.
Our trainers are active askers – we’re on the frontline with you.
Asking Matters Training Packages
What works for your team? Maybe it’s an on-site training and ongoing support to reinforce the material. For board members perhaps it’s our Fundraising 101 for Board Members webinar followed by an on-site training. And maybe you add on one of our premium webinars where we dig into the ask. Whatever your need, we can pull together products and services to meet it.
On-site Training
Our signature half- and full-day trainings provide your staff or board members the tools they need to comfortably and effectively ask for gifts. We’re also available for shorter trainings and presentations, and Brian Saber is a sought-after keynote speaker.

LIVE training, virtually. Our 60-90 minute webinars include best-practices on essential topics such as setting up the meeting, asking for the gift, making a strong case for support, getting your board to give and get, and more.
