10 Donor Questions
July 28, 2011
Encouraging a child means that one or more of the following critical life messages are coming through, either by word or by action: I believe in you, I trust you, I know you can handle this, You are listened to, You are cared for, You are very important to me.
-Barbara Coloroso, American author and educational consultant
The NonProfit Times (May 15, 2010) identified the questions every donor will ask when approached for a charitable contribution...

  1. Why are you pinpointing me for giving?
  2. Do I respect you?
  3. How much do you want?
  4. Why your organization?
  5. How will my gift make a difference?
  6. Is there an urgency to make the gift?
  7. How easy is it to give?
  8. How will I be treated?
  9. How will you measure results?
  10. Will I have a say in how you use my money?

I really like the questions that an organization has to be willing to ask. When we give what is a large donation for our family, we also want to know if we have access to the leadership. If we don't like the leadership style of the executive, we might look for an organization with a similar mission that we believe will have a brighter future because of what we perceive as potential long-term leadership problems.
