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 are seeking to encourage helping organizations to make a fundamental change in their approach to serving others. As practitioners, we have an example of this happening and want to highlight it in an effort to encourage others to consider doing something similar.

What we have in place
  • We currently have useful content, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have access to those doing the work for your information, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to support organizations that are willing to apply the process by offering to match what they are willing to spend. This type of support is part of the story we are wanting to share.

We've been teaching the basic concept of change in the region for years. Few organizations have been applying the information, however. Many are looking for local examples before being willing to apply them in their own context. This project is needed to give them a local example.
