Storytelling has been receiving a lot of press lately, as a content marketing tool and as an effective way to engage audiences on social media.
Brands and businesses are getting their stories out there – stories about their origins, their values, their customers.
So why are most nonprofits so bad at storytelling?
I think the reason is that many nonprofit staff and volunteers are uncomfortable talking about themselves. They feel icky asking for support, asking for help, patting themselves on the back and sharing the great work they are doing every day.
This needs to change.
Here are 5 stories that your nonprofit should be telling everywhere you do fundraising and marketing – including social media.
