[Ailist] AI & Capital Campaigns

[Rob Voyle]

Hi Christine

Check out Jim Lord's appreciative approach to philanthropy.
http://www.lord.org/

I have used a variety of appreciative strategies to increase pledged giving in 
churches.  The basic strategy is:  To give more, people have to value the 
organization more.  The best way to get people to value something is to have 
then share stories about what they value.
