Thank you. Your Story Toolkit is ready.

You now have more than a book.

You have a practical set of tools to help you find better stories, collect them, organize them, and turn them into fundraising.

Your Story Toolkit includes:

• Stories That Raise Money
• Field Guide: Getting Permission
• Field Guide: Getting Your Team to See Stories
• Field Guide: Before You Ask
• Field Guide: Getting the Story
• Story Bank
• Field Guide: Keeping What You Collect

Together, they’re designed to help solve one of the biggest storytelling problems in fundraising: Knowing you need stories is one thing. Actually getting good stories when you need them is another.

What happens with your book

You’ll also receive an email confirming your order.

We’ll get your copy of Stories That Raise Money packed up and headed your way.

While you’re waiting for it to arrive, you can start exploring the Story Toolkit online.

You might begin with the problem you’re facing right now.

If your coworkers don’t seem to recognize good stories, start with Getting Your Team to See Stories.

If you’re worried about permission or how to approach someone about sharing their story, open Before You Ask.

If you have someone ready to talk, use Getting the Story.

And when stories start coming in, use Keeping What You Collect and the Story Bank so those stories don’t disappear into somebody’s inbox, notebook, or memory.

That’s the real goal of the Toolkit.

To help you build a steady supply of good stories you can actually find and use when the next appeal, email, video, report, or campaign comes around.

Thanks for getting the Story Toolkit.

I hope it makes finding your next great fundraising story a whole lot easier.
