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

We need a professional news writer / reporter who can write a feature-length article (think full page in a newspaper or multi-page in a magazine) based on a fairly complex human interest/fundraising campaign/organization story. We want a cohesive story that ties multiple themes together and puts a timely importance on it so that we can pitch to publications. NOTE: You should be ready to provide links to a few of your published articles on any topic.

What we have in place
  • We have a variety of docs for you to review, and we will schedule phone/zoom interviews to discuss details and ideas.
How this will help
This project will save us $6,632 , allowing us to continue providing free photography and storytelling lessons to children and young adults in marginalized communities.

It's important to one of our Founders that this story gets national attention so that we can grow our subscribers, followers, and donors.
