In the time it takes to plan a bake sale, make the brownies, stand at the table, organize everyone else to do the same, the average committed individual could sit through campaign training, practice and actually go out and ask for one gift which could do more for the organization than 50 bake sales.

I'm a new development director and I'm trying to get on this path of major gifts. Part of my philosophy is "you don't ask, you don't get." One challenge I have is that we're a respected and comfortable part of the background in our area. Many people in the area highly respect what we do, but haven't ever been in the Museum. So waving a signal flag will be part of how we raise our presence with a wider array of current and potential supporters. A simple post with a lot of wisdom behind it.
