Engaging stories are at the heart of effective fundraising. Stories help your audience connect through emotion, values, and beliefs -- a combination that inspires action.
Whether you need stories for a fundraising campaign, to market a legacy giving program, or for donor stewardship pieces, I can help you accelerate your storytelling efforts through the Story Strategy + Writing Package.
Let’s Tell Your Non-Profit’s Amazing Stories
Here’s how the Story Strategy + Writing Package works.
We start by infusing your organization's stories with purpose.
We start with a Story Strategy Session where we work together to map out your upcoming fundraising projects and goals to best align your story content to the campaigns.
We’ll meet for about 90 minutes. I’ll come with lots of questions to help you unravel your ideas and whip them up into a great strategy.
A few days after we meet, I’ll deliver your Story Strategy + Plan to you and then it’s off to the races!
Then we bring your stories to life by taking over interviewing and writing.
Once we have a strategy in place, I go to work sourcing and writing your story content.
With your input, we identify potential stories, and then I interview people and write the stories. At the end of the process, you’ll have 3 thoughtful, engaging stories to use in upcoming fundraising campaigns or other content marketing campaigns.
From start to finish, you can expect this process to take 8 weeks.
Non-Profits I’ve Developed Stories For






Let Me Be Your Story Fairy Godmother
Hey there! I’m Vanessa and I work with non-profits to tell purposeful stories that help them engage audiences and reach fundraising goals.
I’ve been writing stories for non-profits since 2011, with an eye to respectful and ethical storytelling approaches.
Through a Story Strategy + Writing Package, I help you get clarity on why and where you want to use stories, and then I create a series of stories that supercharge your strategy.
My clients typically come to work with me on a Story Strategy + Writing Package because they have big visions of how stories could help them, but either aren’t sure where to start or don’t have the time. I’m the extra set of hands that help you make story magic.

Package Pricing
