Training Scenario

The Long-Lapsed Donor

Hard Historically $250–$1,000, nothing in 10 years

Gave consistently for a decade post-graduation, then stopped after a negative experience with the University. Guarded, a little cold. Needs to be re-engaged with care.

What a great fundraiser does
  • Do NOT launch into a pitch — ask about his experience first
  • Listen and acknowledge before presenting the case
  • Re-establish emotional connection to BC (Jesuit mission, community)
  • Only transition to the ask once rapport has been rebuilt
