Fundamentals ~ Joy of This Work

Know Thyself: 
Use your strengths and those of your team members.

Love your Donor
Be authentic in sharing your joy and appreciation. Honor your relationship.

Donor Ready Initiatives
: Participants received thoughtful questions to ask themselves when considering readiness that can be tailored to each relationship. (i.e. Will this make good business sense to the donor? Will be donor be surprised by the amount, project, or timing?)

Give the Gift of your Time
: Map out your time on your calendar and protect the time needed for planning, reporting, research, stewardship, and in-person meetings or events.
Invite with Dignity: Be sure that you and the donor are prepared for the invitation. Throughout your time together, you can identify lots of "little yeses" you've received along the way and leading you towards the invitation.
