Do you have great stories to tell but are not sure how and where to tell them? Do you have several supporters that could be engaged to spread the word about your nonprofit, but you don’t know where to start?

Whether your nonprofit is large or small, has a huge online presence, or is just starting, you can create a system for storytelling and engaging storytelling ambassadors that will help attract new donors and build your online community.

This storytelling bundle is about more than the messages themselves - it’s about the entire storytelling process, from the acquisition of content to interpretation, to crafting the narrative and measuring its effectiveness. 

The presenters of this bundle’s webinars are on a mission to create high-performing nonprofits from the foundation up, starting with strong and effective storytelling.

What Attendees Said about These Nonprofit Webinar Recordings:

“I took a LOT of information away from this webinar, and was pleasantly surprised by how much of it could be put into direct action. Caliopy is an excellent presenter, and her knowledge on the topic is very broad. This was 100% worth the cost of the presentation, and I am very excited to examine our marketing material through the lens of what I learned today!”

Susan Boyle, Social Advocates for Youth

“Caliopy shared so much valuable and incredibly timely knowledge for telling folks stories ethically. My organization works with children with disabilities and we are really looking to improve our storytelling. This webinar gave me a wealth of information to digest, talk with my team, and create new processes based on expert advice.”

Caitlyn Malik, The Shadow Project

“I can't believe how much content Caliopy was able to pack into an hour-and-a-half webinar! I learned so much and the supplemental materials were outstanding. I already forwarded them to colleagues, and plan to implement many of the best practices right away.”

Alaina Yoakum, 10,000 Degrees
 

"Julia is a font of knowledge in all areas of digital fundraising. Her genuine enthusiasm for nonprofit marketing and fundraising is inspiring. This topic was extremely timely for me since I just launched a digital ambassador program and I'm looking for ways to keep our members engaged and excited. I'll definitely be able to use many of the suggestions provided in this nonprofit webinar to amplify our campaign."

Adam Blanchard, Dayton Children's 

“This is the best webinar I have ever attended.  Julia had my attention from the start to the end and I look forward to going back and revisiting the webinar, so much good info.”

Todd Vradenburg, Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation

“I like how straightforward, simple and clear Julia presents all of this information. I'm working for a non-profit but also thinking of starting my own (a different need), however the art of reaching people that also have a shared passion, is the same!  Thank you and I look forward to sharing your information with my team!”

Jane Johns

“Jeff Brooks presents information in the same engaging way he advises we present our communications to donors. The time and money spent on his webinars are well worth it for experienced fundraisers and new fundraisers. Everyone can benefit from reminders of things we know, or learn techniques that are new to us.”

Katheryne Goodman, Rush Homes

“After 35 years in fundraising, I thought I knew it all.  But during this webinar, Jeff Brooks showed me that this old dog could learn new tricks!”

Rebecca Heal, Utah Youth Village

“This was a fantastic reminder to think from the donor's perspective, and walked through very practical steps to ensure we do that in all of our communications. Thank you, Jeff!” 

Chandra Luczak, UNICEF USA
