Fundraising often focuses on making “the ask.” But appreciative inquiry uses questions throughout the relationship to help the donor discover their own reasons for making a transformational donation.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of major gift decision processes and plenty of real-world “magic” questions to try out right away.
