Ask for advice from supporters
Episode description
Your supporters want to help. Asking them for advice helps you and engages them at a deeper level. You’ll both be glad you did!
Often, when you ask for advice, supporters will tell you exactly how they prefer to be asked for money. The transparency you show in conversations around how you raise funds invites them to also be transparent about how they approach giving.
This isn’t a trick to get them to give more. It is an invitation to understand each other and to come into a closer relationship.
Be sure to report back to them and let them know how their advice helped!
Mission Writers is a library of resources to help missionaries and nonprofits raise funds through storytelling. I've been re-organizing the content in response to some of your comments and suggestions, and I'll have some great resources for you soon. Sign up for my emails so you'll know when it's ready!
