How are we giving space and the opportunities for the donor to reflect and discuss what is humanly valuable and important to life and the world as it relates to the cause we are asking them to join?
If you have a task of asking a donor for a gift this week, what is your mindset going into the ask? A necessary task? Or, a joyous opportunity for the donor to join in the power of giving? If you have a task of stewarding a donor this week, what is your mindset? Is something to get off of your to-do list? Or, do you see the task as planting a seed filled with joy for the donor to consider a life of service and compassion?
As you reflect on some of the donors to the organization you serve, how have you seen a transformation from scarcity to abundance? What about you and I? Are we seeing that transformation from scarcity to abundance in our lives?
When was the last time we asked our most committed donors about their story for giving to the cause we serve? When your fundraising tasks seem overwhelming, imagine what impact today’s generosity by donors and volunteers will have on the future.
Many individuals with the means to donate experience giving as a transaction. How will you bring the mindset that you are giving back to the donor the tremendous value of the knowledge of the common good your mission to bringing to the community? How will you consider the ways in which generosity to the cause you serve promotes democracy and saves common liberties?
