A workshop on ethical storytelling for trust, advocacy, and impact

Join us for Power Hour, a dynamic event series designed to fuel the minds and missions of our region’s nonprofit leaders. Our upcoming session, Stories That Honor: Inspiring Action With Dignity and Care, will explore how nonprofit professionals can transform everyday work into powerful narratives that inspire action, deepen trust, and drive change without sacrificing dignity, consent, or representation.

We’ll also dive into tailoring stories for different audiences, from donors and boards to partners and press, and explore the practical tools available to amplify your mission. Along the way, you’ll discover how storytelling can serve as both a fundraising strategy and an advocacy tool, strengthening the impact of your work at every level.
