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.
Additional Details

Ways to tell the story about the people we serve to use in our annual report, email campaigns, and brochure copy.

What We Have In Place
  • We currently have video testimonials that we can glean information, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have access to clients to attain more 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 use funds towards program services

This will help the League develop promotional materials to support fundraising initiatives.
