Nonprofit Storytelling Conference

Tom’s organization received their largest donation ever – and it all started with a story.

After attending the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference, Tom started telling stories differently. Donors took notice. The income from his newsletter more than doubled. But that wasn’t the best part.

One of his stories attracted a brand new donor.

The donor made a whopping donation of $180,000. Can you imagine getting a donation that large from a brand new donor? …but this donor’s story doesn’t end there.

The donor wanted to do more.

Fast forward one month, and the same donor gave a second gift. This time the donation was for 1.24 million dollars. If you add that to the donor’s initial donation, it adds up to an unbelievable $1,420,00.00. And it all started with a story.

With better stories, you can raise more money.

Tom’s fundraising results may not be typical, but many of the past fundraising and communications people who attended the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference have reported amazing results.

It all comes down to this…

In order to raise more money, you must get people excited to support your cause. And the best way to do that is by telling better stories.

At this year’s Nonprofit Storytelling Conference you will learn how to tell better stories across the many aspects of fundraising and donor communications.

You’ll learn how to tap into your donor’s emotions.

You’ll learn about digital media storytelling, major donor storytelling, visual storytelling, and telling stories at special events. You’ll learn the basics of storytelling as well as some advanced storytelling techniques – such as how to structure and implement a series of stories to increase donations and donor retention.

Welcome to a different world

The Nonprofit Storytelling Conference is unlike any conference you’ve ever attended.

The goal of Nonprofit Storytelling Conference is to create a space where you’ll feel nurtured and cared for. As you dive deep into the world of storytelling and connecting with donors, the organizers also want you to have a great time and feel inspired when you leave.
