Storytelling in Annual Giving

Recorded On: 05/23/2017

OVERVIEW

Annual Giving programs often tell stories to motivate their donors and make the case for support. Good storytelling can help capture a donor's attention, tap into their emotions, and convey the impact that philanthropy has on an institution and its mission. Through written, verbal and visual communications, stories are an important tool for developing broad-based appeals, personalizing solicitations, and providing meaningful stewardship.
