Engage Your Supporters With Storytelling

We get it. Engaging donors continues to be a real challenge. For example, some of your supporters are excited to return to in-person fundraising events and others just aren’t ready yet. And capturing attention in today’s crowded digital landscape is tough. No matter where your community falls, authentic storytelling is a powerful way to maximize engagement and generate more support in-person and online.

But how do you actually do it? We invited Maureen Parsons, Sr. Manager of Development at the National Hemophilia Foundation, to join Michael Hoffman, CEO of Gather Voices, for a live, 1-hour conversation on co-creating compelling video stories with your community. They discussed:

  • Storytelling trends that are changing the future of engagement
  • Real-world storytelling tactics that the National Hemophilia Foundation uses to accelerate their impact
  • Best practices and simple steps to get started co-creating powerful stories with your community
