Why Use Stories in Your Appeals
We tell our children stories for a reason; they work to relay important information and lessons. Use that to tell stories in your appeals, whether a letter, social media post, grant, or meeting with a donor.
Why You Should Use Stories to Illustrate Your Need
Key to any fundraising appeal – whether made in person, in a grant application, letter or email – comes in adequately demonstrating the need for your organization, program, or activity through storytelling.
