What is oftentimes the main reason fundraisers are afraid to ask for a gift? The fear of hearing the word “NO!” A donor objection is really a window of opportunity for the solicitor to listen and draw the donor closer to the mission. This interactive session will discuss ways to turn donor objections into wonderful gift opportunities.

Objectives:
1. Listening to donors’ objections and way to effectively respond
2. Overcoming donor objections: Is it the solicitor? The project? The timing?
3. Keeping the door open to donors that may decline a gift today—but may give a gift tomorrow
