Storytelling for Impact: Amplify Your Mission, Build Influence, & Unlock Funding

The stories we tell shape the world we live in and the future we’re building. As funding becomes harder to secure and competition for awards grows, the ability to communicate your nonprofit’s impact with clarity, emotion and purpose is no longer optional — it’s essential.

This workshop will give nonprofit leaders the tools and confidence to craft stories that stand out and inspire action.

Learning objectives:

• Explain the strategic value of storytelling as a tool for advancing their nonprofit mission, building trust and influencing key audiences — including funders, advocates and partners
• Identify and shape compelling narratives that authentically reflect their mission, values and impact
• Apply practical storytelling tools and techniques to craft stories that inspire action, deepen engagement and drive change
• Design and implement a storytelling process within their organizations, including effective methods for sourcing, curating and sharing authentic narratives
• Develop and uphold responsible storytelling practices that ensure respect, dignity and agency for the people and communities represented
• Discover and surface powerful stories in unexpected places, expanding their organization’s capacity to capture and communicate impact
