What we need

- 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
This is for GivingTuesday specifically, and overall communication of our story generally.
What we have in place
- We currently have history of organization and accomplishments, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have stories to share, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to spend more time planning 2022 fundraising.
It will help us have a great GivingTuesday campaign.
