Disrupting Philanthropy through Inclusive Storytelling

Join co-host of the Beyond Philanthropy podcast Valerie Johnson to learn more about how to utilize inclusive storytelling to improve your fundraising practices. Community-centric and trust-based models are increasingly popular, but practical application of the models is still hard to find. Valerie will walk through how to utilize principles from these models in your day-to-day practices, while providing concrete examples and data on how utilizing inclusive (and ethical) storytelling can boost your fundraising efforts. This half day workshop will include hands-on activities to begin developing your own inclusive stories across various fundraising channels.

The program includes a one-hour break for lunch – lunch is not provided.
