Major gift fundraising is about relationships, conversations and opportunities.  

Here are five reasons to enjoy it:

1)      Stimulating conversations with people who share your interest/passion.

2)      Knowledge that the conversation itself brings the donor closer to the organization and has a positive ripple effect—independent of the financial outcome (but you do have to ask).

3)      You are presenting the donor with a gift:  The opportunity to have a high-impact, feel-good experience.

4)      It’s cost-effective.

5)      You have significant control over achieving an annual goal:  The more donors with whom you speak, the more money you will raise.
