How is My Story used for fundraising? 

Non-profits often tell their stories from only one perspective: their beneficiaries. If you work at a non-profit you know that your organization touches so many more lives than just your beneficiaries. Your donors, your board, your staff, your volunteers, and your beneficiaries are ALL transformed by the work you do...so why are you not communicating the full extent of your impact?

Lets take your gala or fundraiser to the next level: 
My Story will train 3-5 speakers from different corners of your organization to have beautiful stories to be shared at a live event that will transform your attendees into enthusiastic community members. To learn more about the event process check out How Do Events Work?

How is this different than your typical fundraising event?

You work all year to ensure that your annual gathering is a seamless event. You have all of your biggest supporters, your newest contacts, and some potential new community members in the audience. You need to nail it with an impactful call for support. Enter My Story's work: 3-5 beautifully crafted stories that paint the whole picture of the work you do. 
  • The Full Picture: Telling your story from more than one perspective is key to galvanizing support from more than one type of person. When the audience understands how your organization impacts the entire ecosystem of your network they are more likely to connect with your mission and be willing to support you.
  • More than Donors: Connecting with people through empathy, authenticity, and vulnerability will have them on board as more than donors; they will be community members, partners in your mission, and champions of your cause. Welcoming supporters into your organization's family will help you to gain much more than funds for your cause.
  • Live Storytelling: Who wants to sit through another droning report or dull speech about the past year? Why not tell real life stories, from the people who lived them, directly to the people who need to hear them? Live storytelling will transform your event and take it to the next level of impact. Connect with My Story to bring live storytelling to your event.
