Asking for gifts is the most fundamental task for any face-to-face fundraiser. In this interactive session we will look at how to set the scene, introduce giving into a discussion, work as part of an asking team, and deal with situations that have gone awry. We’ll be looking at some examples of how to do it right—and how to do it wrong. And of course, we’ll be asking you to have a go!
