Your donors want a partner, not a solicitor.
Partners ask for advice before asking for money.
Partners asking for advice are aiming to collaborate.
Partners requesting advice are less threatening.
Partners requesting advice motivate supporters to 'lean' in.
Partners requesting advice inspire exponentially more dollars throughout their long-term, mutually beneficial relationships.
Your donors' first gift is their time, consideration and effort.
