Is anyone else in disbelief that it’s August already? This year is flying by and I hope it’s been treating you well so far.
Today’s post is another addition of the Non-Profit Storytelling Resource Round-Up.
Every month I feature a list of curated storytelling resources from around the web. This month’s list is a fun combination of storytelling resources, tips for fundraising and other inspiration.
Enjoy!
