Storytelling for Nonprofits

Telling your story in an impactful way to donors is one of the most critical things you must do, but it’s often one of the hardest too.

Here’s what happens to make storytelling so difficult:

Your internal teams don’t understand the importance, what is needed, or what format you need it in
There’s no culture across the entire organization that see donor relationships as a priority
You are lacking a true system for capturing stories
You are missing key financial information that you can pair with stories to create strong donor offers

Here’s the impact this has on your donors:

Donors aren’t seeing how their gift is making a difference (which is one of the top reasons donors stop giving)
Fundraisers don’t have compelling donor offers to share, which keeps giving transactional and limits larger gifts
Donors don’t see themselves as part of the larger work and mission, so they aren’t connected in the way they are to other causes

How We Can Help

Creating Cross-Team Collaboration

We’ll work with your Development, Finance, and Program teams to create a system that will work for you to gather important story information, and the related financial elements. This will be the foundation for impactful storytelling for your donors.

Resource Guides for the Fundraising Team

We’ll create a resource guide for your fundraisers to use that will pull the various pieces of information into an easy to use document so they can more easily pull information as they customize communication to donors.

Rates for this Project start at: $10,000

Estimated timeline: 8 weeks (from kick-off meeting)

Templates to Make Donor Communication Seamless

In partnership with your marketing team, we will create branded templates for key donor communication pieces, including impact reports, corporate sponsorship asks, and a menu of opportunities for major donors.

Coming together with your team, we will help to streamline this process, so you can start having more meaningful conversations with your donors that will lead to even greater revenue for your organization.
