Episode 05 - How to Raise More Money by Not Asking for it!

The best way to raise money from donors when you first meet them is NOT to ask them for money. Rather, make a non-monetary ask, first -- a "connection" ask. Ask them to volunteer, observe your programming, provide advice, watch a performance, or attend a "friend-raising" event.    This podcast addresses this common problem and provides suggestions on ways you can raising more money by taking a softer, more patient approach.
