Inspired Giving -- Using Stories To Increase Donations

Inspired Giving -- Using Stories To Increase Donations | Just Story It | Scoop.it

One of the greatest challenges for non-profits today is how to increase donations.


No matter what time of year it is, nonprofits are always faced with the challenge of raising funds.  So I have several resources to share with you that I trust will help you find, craft, and share your stories better to make your fundraising more successful.


There's a PowerPoint presentation and audio recording that go together talking about the how and why stories work in fundraising, worksheets to help you develop your non-profits core stories, and an academic article talking about what nonprofit stories must have in order for them to work.


I just added (12/23) the audio file and improved PPT, along with additional resources & worksheets so go grab the latest stuff!


Enjoy & happy holidays ...

Yes yes yes, one of the best techniques for crafting your business stories is to use storyboarding. But so many people feel intimidated by it.


As this how-to article demonstrates, it's not about art.  It's about getting your thoughts down in an easy to use format.


The secret to why this works? The job of the storyteller is to feed images to the listener.  Organizing and crafting your story first as a series of images makes telling the story super easy.


I often use a deck of 3x5 cards where I draw a stick figure or write a word. Then I can easily re-arrange them as I walk through the story out loud. It works like a charm.


And make sure to read Parts 1 and 3 (links are in the article) to get the whole story :)


So read this article and master storyboarding techniques. It's easy.  Try it, you'll like it!
