How can you be sure that the organizations you support still align with the values that matter to you? No organization is immune to mission drift, so supporters need to be willing to do their homework. In their recent newsletter, WaterStone offers some valuable insight on the most effective ways to find and fight mission drift in the organizations you support. #generosity #giving #stewardship #BaaM

Storytelling is key when we’re trying to raise awareness in #publicaffairs. Why do stories help so much? There are a few key reasons: 👉 Tactile: stories provide a real, grounded feeling in raising awareness. From stories of people impacted by climate change to housing struggles, human stories connect us to what’s happening.  👉 Motivating: stories being told about active events can make action click. Connecting us to the rooted documentation of what’s happening inspires us to take action.  👉 Real: facts and statistics are real too, but they don’t jump out to us. Sometimes a large piling of statistics can make us feel downtrodden and shy away from action. A single story, or a collection of them, connects us to the ways we can make a change, bringing the intangible to the tangible. What’s #storytelling’s power in your work?

🚨REAL PERSON ALERT 🚨 By now you might know that I believe placing real people and real experiences front and center is a vital component of writing for impact. That's why I asked my clients to provide a photo to accompany their testimonials! In my opinion, it's an easy way to appeal to prospective clients by showing the person behind the endorsement. A huge thank you Victoria Davidson for lending her voice (and her face)! ____ Are you looking to move the needle on your fundraising and engagement goals? Writing for impact will help your organization: ✅ CREATE CLARITY: surrounding your mission, your impact, and the role your donors can play in helping your organization touch even more lives ✅ INSPIRE ACTION: through content that creates value and drives impact ✅ BUILD CONNECTIONS: among your donors, volunteers, and constituents Don’t know where to start? You’re in the right place! Send me a DM and let’s talk about what might be possible. #ImpactCommunications #Storytelling #EmotionalStorytelling #DonorRelations #Advancement
