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

Prior to COVID-19 our proposals were being funded, lately however we have not received as many positive responses from funders. Feedback from a recently submitted proposal indicated that the intent of our proposal was not clear. Nevertheless, we are often told by funders that they see the value of the work we do in our community for the underrepresented .

What we have in place
  • We currently have an LOI that did not move to the proposal stage, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have proposals that were funded & others that were not funded, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to direct funding to provideing programs for youth and families.

This project will provide information on how to improve the quality of the grant proposals that are submitted to funders.

Testimonials

Read the Impact Story
Vanessa provided clear feedback to us on how we can enhance the "BCYL Story". Her recommendations will be easily implemented. She also provided resources related to the content of the BCYL Story that we will be able to utilize. Working with Vanessa was a positive experience and BCYL is willing to work with her in the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know BYCL, their team, and the wonderful work that they've done in the community. I'd definitely work with them, again.
