Asking Matters™ addresses the age-old challenge of helping staff and volunteers feel comfortable and prepared in asking for gifts. Cofounders Andrea Kihlstedt and Brian Saber have developed a new set of practical, accessible and affordable tools based on the concept of personal Asking Styles. They believe that if everyone understands their fundraising style, they will be more comfortable asking for gifts and will have far greater success in raising funds. Asking Matters™ provides on-line tools, hosts webinars on various asking topics, publishes e-books, and develops customized web-based and in-person trainings.
Special guest Megan Hodges will join us to talk about how Harlem RBI uses events to raise money and broaden its reach. She’ll be available to answer your questions about how a relatively small organization raises more than $2 million in one night. She’ll talk about the pros and cons of events fundraising and answer questions you pose.
