Making the Ask: Best Practices

Episode 4

Wednesday, January 17, 2024 • Duration 24:44

In this episode of Deep Dive For Impact, Nick discusses several best practices that an organization can utilize when preparing to make a fundraising ask. We go over two "pre-best practices" during the preparation stage before discussing the five best practices during the actual ask process. Finally, we conclude with a stepwise mental model that allows us to view the ask as a sequence rather than as a one-time event.

0:00-2:04 Introduction
2:04-3:51 "Pre-best practice" #1: Have a goal of getting to the ask
3:51-5:49 "Pre-best practice" #2: Predisposition
5:49-10:07 Best practice #1: Use a visual
10:07-13:03 Best practice #2: Have a "funding rationale"
13:03-15:22 Best practice #3: Prepare and practice the flow of the visit (including transitions)
15:22-15:44 Best practice #4: Think about possible questions and objections
15:44-19:30 Best practice #5: Think about the ask as a dialogue
19:30-24:21 Mental model: The ask as a sequence
24:21-24:44 Conclusion

Episode 2

Thursday, August 17, 2023 • Duration 36:54

In this episode of Deep Dive For Impact, Nick introduces the idea that "Impact Drives Income" (not the other way around), which we consider to be the foundational framework that can bring a fundraising operation to new heights.

7:42-13:51 How this applies to nonprofits/social enterprises
