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

Kids First Organization is seeking a volunteer to help amplify its storytelling. We are looking for more effective ways to articulate our organizations founding story, our program accomplishments.

What we have in place
  • We currently have dedicated volunteers and a solid founder, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have things conveniently stored on a shared drive, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to feed families during our Christmas programming and to pay generous stipends to underserved youth who participate in our programs.

We are reconsidering what it means to tell the story of our organization.In our efforts to increase our impact on the lives of youth we serve, we need to do a better job of telling our story. Our leader is very inspiring, but humble and doesn't speak much on why he started the organization. We know that his story and many of our stories are compelling.
