You make a great point I was intending to illustrate in this post how easy it can be to forget to take into account everyone in the room when we create a solicitation plan. What you're speaking to is urgency. I absolutely agree. There needs to be a reason why the donor is being asked for money right now. Bob, great comment.

Why me? It's necessary for both donor and recipient to address those questions from their perspectives as part of the discussion. The third question is, Why now? Why is now the time both to ask for the donation and to make one? What is propitious, what is the opportunity, whether in the short or long run, that demands action now? That also gets to the importance of passion and conviction in the presentation and response.
