Philanthropy is …
     connecting with your DONOR’s dreams




                                           5

Key principle: people give to people!




    Build meaningful and value-based relationships
                Connect mind & soul

                                                     6
Why do people give?




                      7
Why?


 •   Why did you join your organization?
 •   Why are you engaged as a Board member?
 •   Why are your volunteers involved?
 •   Why would major donors give?
 •   Why did you choose to be involved?

     The key question of motivation needs to be
     addressed throughout your organization!



                                                  8

Tell it from the donor’s perspective…




                      Tom Ahern, Seeing through a Donor’s Eyes,   13
                      Emerson & Church Publishers, 2009

      Story-containing
      Simple
