Tell Stories to Raise Funds

Kay Helm Episode 97

Storytelling is an essential skill for fundraisers.  

What do stories do?

  • Stories help us connect. 
  • Compelling stories increase empathy.
  • Stories reflect our values. 
  • Stories reveal truths. 
  • Stories help us see others in a new way.
  • Stories give us context.

Mission Writers is a library of resources to help missionaries and nonprofits raise funds through storytelling. I've been re-organizing the content in response to some of your comments and suggestions, and I'll have some great resources for you in January. Sign up for my emails so you'll know when it's ready!
