I work for a non-profit that is medium sized and having some major finacial difficulties. We are a great organization that needs to grow, but struggling. We have a donor that is willing to match $1,000 donations. So that is wonderful news
Heres my question...
My brother is currently dating very seriously the sister of a major league ball player. I have never met her, or the major league player. They live across the country and are all close with one another. I want to see if my brother would either ask, or put me in touch with the ball player to so that I could ask for atleast the $1000 donation from him. I am pretty sure my brother would feel uncomfortable doing that, but know I could persuade him to do it. My family all presumes that at some point my brother will marry this girl...so if me asking a potential inlaw for a donation is tacky...(and I am not sure it is...I'm a fundraiser...asking is what I do.) It will be a lasting first impression....what would you do?
