1 story,
1 month,
1 Million dollars.
It was unbelievable...
Tom's organization received their largest donation ever - and it all started with a story.
After attending the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference, Tom started telling stories differently. Donors took notice. The income from his newsletter more than doubled. But that wasn't the best part.
One of his stories attracted a brand new donor.
The donor made a whopping donation of $180,000. Can you imagine getting a donation that large from a brand new donor? ...but this donor's story doesn't end there.
The donor wanted to do more.
Fast forward one month, and the same donor gave a second gift. This time the donation was for 1.24 million dollars. If you add that to the the donor's initial donation, it adds up to an unbelievable $1,420,00.00. And it all started with a story.
With better stories,
You can raise more money.
Tom's fundraising results may not be typical, but many of the past fundraising and communications people who attended the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference have reported amazing results. Take Heidi Wong from Kin On Health Care as an example.
After attending the conference, Heidi completely rewrote her organization's year end appeal letter. Instead of bringing in their usual $30,000, the new appeal letter brought in $124,000. What made the difference? It was her new storytelling skills.
The same thing happened when Rachelle tried out her new storytelling skills. She was able to raise $50,000 more from her appeal letter. And for her small nonprofit, she was also able to increase their donor retention by 8%.
"This offers a different perspective... inspiring... we're actually being challenged to think outside of our box... It's unlike any other conference."
~ Bethany Glass, Emory University School of Law
"We brought 12 of our team members here from various departments...It's just been amazing to come out of the various sessions and watch our team light up with new ideas...There was so much more than we expected."
~ Kathy Graves, Pioneer Bible Translators
"My brain is full, my network is larger, and my passion for helping South Dakota is at its peak! My two days at the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference were nothing short of spectacular!"
Buddy Seiner - South Dakota Community Foundation
"I would send everyone I know to the conference. It was that good. I tell people this is the best conference I have ever attended. I mean it."
