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!
What we have in place
- We currently have a first draft of the appeal, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have access to the family, staff who have worked with the family, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to provide more lifespan services to individuals with Autism, Down syndrome, and other I/DD.
The Arc of Essex County is seeking a communications, story telling, and fundraising professional to review the draft of our 2018 spring fundraising appeal appeal! We've already taken care of the interviewing and writing process. Simply seeking an outside opinion on if/how we can punch it up to be more effective!

Our mission
The Arc of Essex County provides comprehensive services and supports to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families ensuring a lifetime of achievement with dignity and full partnership in the community.
What we do
The Arc of Essex County is a 501c3, non-profit organization dedicated to helping children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) such as Down syndrome and Autism participate in every level of society and enjoy fuller, more independent lives. When families join The Arc of Essex County, they become a part of a unique team focused on setting goals, tackling challenges, and celebrating accomplishments along the way. The Arc is more than your service provider and system navigator. In partnership with The Arc of the United States and The Arc of New Jersey, our advocacy ensures your voice and interests are heard on the state and national level.
Whether we are helping a child learn to take their first steps, easing the transition from school to adult life, or providing tender care for your loved one in their golden years, our team will help make your family’s dreams a reality.
Founded in 1948 by a small group of dedicated parents who wanted more for their children, today, The Arc of Essex County is a robust organization of approximately 500 employees providing services and supports to nearly 1,500 individuals with I/DD and their families each week.
