Storytelling

Project details

What we need
  • A compelling narrative, or set of stories
  • Persuasive copy that can be used in appeals to donors, annual reports, grant applications, and media relations
  • Popular examples: Organization's founding story, a program achievement or milestone, a look back at the past few years, organizational backgrounder, etc.
  • Note: This project is not intended to support your general content planning or marketing but there are several projects in our Marketing & Communications category which are a good fit!
Additional details

We'd also love to create some short stories (maybe turned into storyboards for short videos) highlighting how Groundwork has impacted others over the course of its existence. We have contacts at each org that we've worked with.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a pitch deck, founder testimonials, project writeups, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have data/ metrics, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to help more underrepresented entrepreneurs.

The success of our organization depends on our ability to effectively articulate our value proposition. Without your help, we cannot mobilize support from funders, partners & stakeholders. Your skills will empower us to get capital & resources to more amazing founders in 2018-19.
