Great story on giving from Keith Ferrazzi

If you’re a fundraiser, you should know that people *want* to give.  Giving makes us happy.

 

Sometimes though, we forget that while we’re asking someone to help, we’re giving them the opportunity to give.

 

It makes us happy to make others happy.

 

Keith Ferrazzi passed on this story, and I think it’s a great one to share with anyone you might encounter who’s still scared to ask, whether a fundraiser or not.
