How to Approach Your Friends and Family for Charitable Gifts
Live webinar sessions on June 10th at 7PM ET and June 11th at 1PM ET.
OK, this is one of the thorniest issues! NO one wants to step on relationships. It can feel terribly uncomfortable reaching out, and it’s very difficult not to take the response personally. Worst of all is asking for a gift…only to be asked in return. That dreaded swapping of gifts is less than a zero-sum game.
Yet reaching out to friends and family can be done successfully if it’s done well.
Join me to learn how to do it.
In this interactive webinar, board members will learn:
- The mindset they’ll need to put the work in perspective.
- The way to decide who to approach and who to pass over.
- The phrases to use to be clear and objective and, to the extent possible, keep relationships out of the equation.
This is a not-to-miss webinar for anyone who really wants to reach out to people in their inner circle but is filled with concerns about how to do it.
