You can accomplish more in that first donor visit than you think. Hear a different approach to donor cultivation from a community college fundraiser who believes you don't have to wait 18-24 months to ask for a gift-and has the successes to prove it.

Your first visit doesn't have to involve a solicitation, but you should arrive with clear strategies to determine if a second visit is warranted. Not only will your donors thank you, you'll be more effective than ever before, and make the most of your limited time and fundraising resources.
