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
Digital Wish just enlisted Jordan Bone, professional NBA Point Guard for the Detroit Pistons as Digital Wish's spokesperson! Jordan, and his brother Josh Bone (Coach UTenn) will be putting out challenges to the cities of Detroit, Nashville, and Knoxville, to raise donations to supply hotspots and laptops to children-in-need. It's a message of equity of opportunity for all. We're looking for a storyteller who can tell the story of Jordan, teachers, and Digital Wish.
What we have in place
- We currently have photos, graphics, starter text, and video, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an internal team to share experiences, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to donate more hotspots to kids and solve the digital divide.
We need to write blog posts for our partner's sites - they are household name organizations. This is a very public project and the first time we will be doing scaled press for an initiative. The NBA celebrity involvement of Jordan Bone will escalate the message and help us achieve our mission to solve the digital divide.

Our mission
Bring technology to classrooms in order to prepare students to thrive in the global economy.
What we do
Digital Wish is a 501c-3 nonprofit on a mission to solve technology shortfalls in education. Every child deserves a technology-rich education to provide them with the skills necessary to thrive in the global economy. Digital Wish partners with technology providers to distribute free or reduced-cost educational technology such as refurbished laptops, tablets and internet "hotspots" to schools and teachers. Digital Wish manages a community of 64k educators in the US, assisting them with their technology needs through lesson plans, fundraiser campaigns for their "technology wishes" and access to affordable educational technology used in the classroom. Since its inception in 2006, Digital Wish has granted over 31,000 technology wishes to educators worth over $17 Million, and administered grants together with Verizon, Dell, Motorola, Henderson Foundation, and Microsoft.
Testimonials
Megan is one of my favorite volunteers on CatchAFire. She's very mature, makes the right decision if left to her own devices, and delivers on projects when she says she will. lf Megan wants to work on your project, consider yourself lucky and accept her right away. She did story writing for us and took the initiative to conduct interviews without close supervision. Then delivered a well-crafted, articulate blog post which will be circulated widely, shortly. I would work with her again on future projects.
