Description

Today’s nonprofits face an unspoken ethical dilemma: Do we have the right to publish our beneficiaries' stories to raise money? In this interactive session, you'll gain insights into crafting inspiring narratives that prompt your donors to take action without violating the privacy or dignity of your beneficiaries.

Diana will guide you through her EQUAstory™ Framework, an ethical method to tell stories and raise funds for your mission with integrity. When you incorporate this method of gathering narratives, your beneficiaries will feel appreciated and comfortable sharing their genuine experiences. Simultaneously, your donors will understand the impact of their donations through ethically sourced and shared stories. This is a learning experience philanthropic pioneers can't miss!
