Lawrence Kasmir
Environmental Organisation - Israel

I just recommended Jeff Brook’s Irresistible Communications course to a colleague! Fundraisers should take this course to learn about (or brush up on) how to write the ask, how to structure the ask letter, what language to use and stay as far away from as possible, what exactly to write the ask about… and that’s all just module 1! Seriously, you will print out some of the slides and put them on your wall, they are that universally applicable.
