AFP Chicago Virtual Workshop
Topic: Harnessing the Power of Storytelling: Advice for 2020 and Beyond
Friday, November 13, 2020 | 1:00 - 2:00 PM

COVID-19 has created a plethora of issues for fundraising teams; however, from major challenges came innovative new ways for fundraisers to communicate the importance of continuing (and growing!) their support. There’s no stronger way to promote the mission of your organization than by sharing the stories of those who have been impacted by your work, especially while the pandemic has brought new challenges to both your donors and those you serve.

In this presentation, we will offer guidance for identifying these stories, as well as empowering and equipping every member of your organization to help fill your “story reserve.” We’ll address how – during times like these – you can use stories to compel and inspire your donors. By providing actionable advice on how to adapt stories for a variety of audiences and media, we will help you convey to your donors the outcomes and impact of their giving. Our panel of experts will provide insight into how they’ve weathered the storm and brought their donors even closer to their mission within the context of the pandemic. This program is approved for 1 CFRE point.
