Every Place Has a Story:
Communications that Inspire Support
Stories help people care, and trust helps people act. In this two-part virtual workshop, attendees will learn how to uncover compelling stories within their organizations and turn them into compelling communications that build relationships, inspire support, and sustain their mission. Through practical exercises and real-world examples, attendees will leave with tools they can immediately use in newsletters, fundraising appeals, social media, and direct donor communications.
This Two-Day workshop will explore and include:
- Story Identification and a Framework to use
- Trust-Building Communications Checklist
- Identifying Common Pitfalls
- Turning Stories into Communications
- Multiple Breakout Sessions putting lessons into practice
Day One (08/25) will focus on finding and building your organization’s story.
