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 is enlisting professional athletes from the NHL / NFL / and NBA to do interviews that double as virtual fundraising events to close the digital divide. We will be putting out challenges to their sports-centered home cities 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 the players, teachers and students in need, and Digital Wish.

What we have in place
  • We currently have hotspot customers ready to be interviewed, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have background initiative 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 get more hotspots for students in need

We need to write blog posts for our partners' sites - they are household name organizations. This is a very public project. The NBA / NFL / NHL player celebrity involvement 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.
