Storytelling

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!
Additional details

For our Fall Appeal to funders, as well as for use in some upcoming grants. We want a story of our work that captures the big-picture life of the organization but highlights the changes and the impacts in the lives of our boys.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a history of the organization as well as individual stories, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have shared historical files and personal accessibility, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to open up two new school circles in the Spring.

Three years ago our budget was $35k, and today it is just under$180k. We are growing and having a big impact across Southern AZ. Our organization is in a major coming out and getting attention phase, and it's a great time to hone and tell our story as more folks are beginning to take an interest in our work.
