Leave them wanting more on your donor visits. "I don't want to take too much time" & they will indicate if they are ready to go #AFPCongressby FundraiserBeth via twitter 11/19/2013 2:13:57 PM

I want fundraisers who are more than fundraisers. They're leaders of their organizations, the sector, and the community. These leaders ask the cage-rattling questions and challenge the status quo.

Inspiring donors to engage is not a simple ask, it's a call to rally around your cause. Don't be afraid to try approaches that integrate fundraising and campaign strategies.
