What you will learn today:
The number one reason why people don't give to help you accomplish your mission: YOU HAVEN'T ASKED THEM TO.
James, the first pastor of the Christian church in Jerusalem, says it plainly:
You have not because you ask not. James 4:2b
Fundraisers who fear asking donors to give don't understand that one of the most significant ways to help donors feel needed is to ask them to make a difference in the world with their money.
Because of their timidity to ask, fundraisers often make appeals that tell a story about someone they helped (a finished story), talk about more people like the person in the finished story that they have helped, quote a bible verse about love, then buried at the end of the appeal, they will squeamishly ask donors to give.
