In today's economic climate nonprofit organization must work harder to be noticed by funders, potential stakeholders and even prospective clients. Your staff may be feeling the strain of doing more with less.
Having a well-crafted and authentic story will help you persuade granting organizations that you are the right nonprofit in your field for them to fund, help your stakeholders and potential stakeholders communicate your mission more effectively and make your outreach to clients that much more powerful. What's more, when your staff knows your story and believes in it, they will be more passionate about their work in the face of adversity.
This highly participatory introductory workshop will help you identify some of your organization's key story elements, craft those elements into several narratives appropriate for different audiences and conquer the challenges of telling your story.
