WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Every nonprofit has a story to tell about the work it’s doing. In this session, we’ll get past “storytelling” as an organizational goal and start talking about it as a practical day-to-day tool. “Storytelling” can seem like a board-level buzzword, but we’ll dig into what truly makes stories the most effective form of communication – and how any nonprofit organization can apply those story principles to communicate more powerfully with their donors and members. Make sure you have a notepad so you can start planning your organization’s storytelling strategy during this workshop.
