Within your organization there are hundreds of stories regarding the impact you are having and the value your work creates for the communities you serve. This workshop is designed for Executive Directors, Directors of Development and Communications, and Board Members who are seeking to harness the power of their stories as part of an individual donor solicitation effort. During this morning workshop, you will learn…
- How to identify the best stories to use.
- How to shape the stories into a compelling solicitation for an individual donor.
- How to engage board and other staff members as part of the effort of capturing stories and conveying stories to donors.
You will leave this workshop with an understanding of how to shape the many stories within your organization as well as have an outline of a specific story that can be told either through writing or shared during a donor prospect meeting.
