Project details

What we need
  • A compelling narrative, or set of stories
  • Persuasive copy that can be used in appeals to donors, annual reports, grant applications, and media relations
  • Popular examples: Organization's founding story, a program achievement or milestone, a look back at the past few years, organizational backgrounder, etc.
  • Note: This project is not intended to support your general content planning or marketing but there are several projects in our Marketing & Communications category which are a good fit!
What we have in place
  • We currently have short cases studies and examples of work, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a description of the challenge we seek to address, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,842 , allowing us to write powerful and compelling funding bids.

We sometimes find it difficult explaining to funders the challenge we seek to address and the huge impact we have with beneficiaries. We need to be able to tell our story, and tell it well!

Our mission

We defend, strengthen and empower those on the frontlines of civil society by keeping them and their partners safe and secure, both online and in the real world.

What we do

We want a world in which rights are realised and people are free. But civil society and civic space are under serious threat from attacks, harassment and censorship.

Open Briefing is a vital part of the response. We defend, strengthen and empower those on the frontlines of civil society by keeping them and their partners safe and secure online and in the real world.

Our international team provides high-impact training, consultancy and resources across safety and security, digital security, and wellbeing and resilience. No other non-profit provides this comprehensive, holistic approach.

Testimonials

It was great working with Elizabeth. She really took the time to get to know our organisation before steering us through a process of drafting a positioning statement, a founding story, and key messages for different stakeholders. This has really tightened up the text on our website and helped us a lot with our other communications. Thank you so much!
