How Nonprofits can Share Stories of Impact that Honor the Dignity of Clients
Storytelling is an integral part of fundraising, grant writing, and anything nonprofit!
But there can come a time when you might be storytelling for clickbait and not even realizing what your nonprofit is doing!

I have seen nonprofit fundraising teams write the most emotive stories to try and pull on people's heartstrings to give!
I get it. Your nonprofit needs funding and these stories are emotional.
But the problem is that this emotional storytelling (whether via video, pictures, blogs, etc.) can actually dishonor your beneficiaries.
Just think about if your clients or beneficiaries read or watched what you wrote.
Would they feel empowered?
Or, would they feel disempowered?
Mary Gladstone-Highland, CEO of Spark Group Consulting, is on the Grant Writing & Funding podcast and YouTube video to discuss how to share your nonprofit’s mission without misery through your story-telling.

Quit your toxic nonprofit job and replace your full-time income while writing grants part-time, from home! Join our students in the Freelance Grant Writer Academy to create Financial Stability and Flexibility through writing grants for causes you are passionate about: https://grantwritingandfunding.com/freelance-grant-writer-academy
World-renowned grant writing expert and Amazon bestselling author Holly Rustick provides coaching that helps new and experienced grant writers replace their full-time income while writing grants part-time from home (or anywhere they want to live or travel in the world).
She coaches changemakers to master grant writing and start to grow 6-figure+ grant writing businesses on part-time hours via her signature group program, “Freelance Grant Writer Academy."
As an unapologetic feminist, Holly’s work in coaching female grant writers to master grant writing, find their cause-area niche, and navigate value-based pricing and nonprofit sales is breaking glass ceilings for women all over the world.
Every week, she coaches thousands of people through the top-ranking podcast, Grant Writing & Funding, books on grant writing, and inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy.
Holly has 20 years of experience in grant writing, and began her freelance grant writing journey back in 2005. While teaching in Kuwait and Indonesia, and then earning a Master’s Degree in International Political Economy in Belgium, Holly saw the light of setting up a virtual-based business in grant writing back in the mid-2000s. Having secured more than $45 million of dollars for nonprofit organizations, and then setting up a multi 6-figure freelance business, Holly has a mission to help female grant writers break out of toxic nonprofit J-O-B-S and create high-level income while freelance grant writing.
Inside the Freelance Grant Writer Academy, students have secured more than $225+ million in grant funding and $4+ million in revenue in their grant writing businesses within two years.
To amplify this work, she is past-president of the Guam Women’s Chamber of Commerce and was appointed to the Guam Business Advisory Task Force as an advisor to the first female governor of Guam. Holly lives on the island of Guam with her beautiful daughter, Isabella.
