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

What does collaboration mean to nonprofits and local stakeholders? Why are the innovative speakers and workshop sessions that will be offered at our major conference useful? We'd like help sharing some of the success stories and to promote key speakers and panelists with the help fo compelling and persuasive copy.

What we have in place
  • We currently have partners and models who could be interviewed, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have list of speakers and their session topics and proposals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to involve more organizations in our capacity building efforts

This project will help make the aims of our conference concrete and less theoretical. We want people to understand their role and opportunity that we have to make major impact on our region through the use of stories that help people understand and identify with the initiative.

Testimonials

Alison was a pleasure to work with. She was able to provide guidance and elicit direction clearly and effectively so we ended up with a deliverable that we hadn't even known how to ask for! Her thoughtful, creative, and reliable support was a huge boon to our project and we'd love to work with her again. Highly recommended.

Storytelling Project

Working with GPNP was an absolute joy from start to finish. Linsey and Hannah were helpful and clear communicators about their expectations, goals, and timeline for this project. It was inspiring to learn more through this project about the wonderful collaborative work happening within the greater Pittsburgh area through GPNP. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to be part of this project and would happily work with GPNP again in the future!
