Second, have a revenue goal for each donor on your list. Know their passions and interests and review their giving patterns. Serve your donor’s interests and get prepared!

Third, ask for a face to face meeting with each of your donors on your list. You need to be able to look them in the eye and get a true sense of their dreams and desires in conjunction with your organization’s mission. Match your ask with their desires.
