You actually justified the reason for #9 in your comment. This type of donation is a value-for-value situation. Awareness of your contribution is essential to the value you should receive as a donor. The way to ask is matter-of-factly, and not just about your company. <strong><em>"How are the donors for this event going to be recognized? </em>"</strong> And then, go from there. You'll get the hang of it. Andy Genie,

Thanks for the comment. You actually justified the reason for #9 in your comment. This type of donation is a value-for-value situation.

Awareness of your contribution is essential to the value you should receive as a donor.

The way to ask is matter-of-factly, and not just about your company. “How are the donors for this event going to be recognized? “ And then, go from there. You’ll get the hang of it.

Andy

You always such great insight and timing! That number 9 is a tough one. I personally dislike having to ask how a donation of time or product will be credited and should I really have too? I don't like being put into a position that sounds like "what's in it for us?" The sad fact of the matter is that all to many times have people made a donation of time, product or both and walk away without so much as a thank you. Genie Great Stuff Andy!
