About this listen

 Fundraising often focuses on making "the ask." But appreciative inquiry uses questions throughout the relationship to help the donor discover their own reasons for making a transformational donation. Professor James starts with the "why" from research, theory, and experience and then moves to the "how" of exactly what questions to ask, in what order, and for what purpose. You'll gain a deeper understanding of major gift decision processes and plenty of real-world "magic" questions to try out right away.
