Most nonprofits ask their major donors WAY too much. If you want to transform your fundraising results, you need to get as far away as possible from just throwing information and asks at donors. YOU NEED TO GET TO KNOW THEM! The only way to really do that is to get a visit scheduled. The information you learn from a donor is almost infinitely more valuable than the things you will tell them.
