Fundraisers must be knowledgeable. And so many are – about the institution and specific program/initiative(s) represented. But we also must be knowledgeable about each prospect (their motivation, passions, preferences), the larger causes we represent, and the world at large. Curiosity is the best path toward building this knowledge and, luckily, curiosity can be cultivated!

Once activated, curiosity reaps rewards for both internal relationships and throughout the donor cycle.

In this webinar, we will begin with reflection opportunities that allow you to assess your starting point in demonstrating curiosity. Then we’ll provide clear actions you can take to strengthen this competency – from setting aside ego to assessing conversational ratios with donors and more. Finally, we’ll discuss how these actions will help you develop stronger internal and external relationships and improve your fundraising results.
