The Art of Nonprofit Story-Telling

Thursday, February 16 - Historic Hopkins House – Haddon Township (Camden County)

We invite you to discover the art of story-telling: one of the most effective tools a nonprofit has to raise funds and win support. It is an art that can be shared via publications and direct mail; verbally, from the elevator speech to a funder presentation; and online, using today's social networking tools. A well-told story inspires and compels action and distinguishes our organization from the masses.

This session will explore the factors that make each type of presentation successful, so that you are utilizing all of these communication tools effectively, maximizing support for your organization through skilled external communications.
