Thursdays April 8, 15, 22 | 1:00 PM – 2:45 PM EST | 3-Part Idealware Web Series

Offered in Partnership with: Idealware

Your nonprofit has a story, but do you know how to share it visually? Storytelling has evolved from mailings to newsletters to blog posts to social media, relying more on visuals than ever before. Visual storytelling is a crucial tool to community your mission clearly to your constituents, support your marketing and fundraising efforts, and showcase your nonprofit’s impact.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify your audiences (donors, volunteers, clients) and how to tailor your storytelling to each.
2. Build a visual and narrative arc for your stories, including defining your goals and establishing a clear call-to-action.
3. Identify which platforms are the most effective to share your story.
4. Tell a story using readily available devices and resources.

*As a CAE Approved Provider educational program related to the CAE exam content outline, this course may be applied for 4.5 credits toward your CAE application or renewal professional development requirements.
