NYU Heyman Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising ‘Art of the Ask: From the Perspectives of Professionals and Philanthropist’
October 4, 2013

Asking for a gift is both an art and a science.

In this course, three highly successful fundraisers discuss their approaches and a philanthropist is invited to report on how he or she reacts to a particular ask.
