The socratic ministry of Christian fundraising: Guiding donors with questions
(with special guest Dr. Russell James)
The most meaningful donor conversations often begin not with a pitch, but with a question. By learning how to ask well-placed questions, fundraisers can help supporters connect their faith, values, and resources.
In this session, we’ll explore how a Socratic approach, modeled by Jesus Himself, can foster deeper relationships, reveal donor motivations, and lead to joyful generosity.
Join special guest Dr. Russell James, Professor of Charitable Financial Planning at Texas Tech University, for this follow-up to our widely popular May webinar. This session is ideal for fundraisers who want to transition from transactional asks to personally transformational dialogue.
