Can you raise money without telling a story?
Unlike buying something at a store, when a donor gives you her money, she gets no physical “thing” in return. What she does get in return is a story …a story she can tell herself and others.
Stories make donors feel good.
A story is proof that she did something wonderful in the world.
In a way, stories are a form of currency.
Because each donor is different, you’ll benefit from having a library of stories. You’ll be able to appeal to a variety of donors. By making sure you have fresh stories to share, your current donors will stay engaged longer.
This handy little field guide and journal is small enough to fit in your pocket. But don’t let the size fool you. This little book is a powerful tool for helping you, your staff, and your volunteers find and collect engaging stories.
Here’s the Table of Contents:
- Definition of a Story
- Why Collect Stories
- Types of Stories

- Different Story Elements
- How to Gather Stories from your Staff & Volunteers
