INVITATION TO VISIT MESSAGE
SUBJECT: Attend the ShareBuilt Bridge Breakfast: a Unique quarterly community collaboration event.
I wanted to introduce Richard Brasher—he is the Area Director for ShareBuilt, a unique nonprofit serving the design and construction needs of the nonprofit community. You should connect with him and ShareBuilt.
The quarterly Bridge Breakfasts bring together the nonprofit and business communities in highly collaborative environment to explore how the process of designing and building for nonprofits can be best accomplished.

Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
IF YOU HEAR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ABOUT FROM BUSINESS LEADERS , THEY WOULD BE A GOOD REFERRAL:
1) “We are seeking opportunities for our staff to give back through local service projects”
2) "We are seeking worthy nonprofits who are doing unique and impactful work to support with our company, private foundation or family office."
3) "I am looking for an opportunity to support the nonprofit sector in a broader way and not just through one particular “cause”
4) "It seems that so many non-profits duplicate what others are doing and it is hard to differentiate them or decide which one to support. I would love to find a nonprofit truly meeting an unmet need making a broad impact”
Unique Selling Proposition
We can help businesses of all types position themselves to better serve the nonprofit community and raise their community profile of service to nonprofits. Businesses that are an essential part of the building design & construction process like engineers, architects, construction managers, trade contractors, and materials suppliers can be introduced to clients seeking their services. In addition, every nonprofit facing a building project has needs in banking, insurance, marketing, furnishings, etc. By supporting ShareBuilt, companies like these can “help us help many”
