You know your work is making a difference—but too often funders don’t respond the way you hope. They may miss the heart of your mission or overlook the real impact you’re creating in your community.
In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn how to turn your impact into investment by building a story that funders understand, believe in, and want to support. We’ll unpack common challenges nonprofits face when talking to funders, explore what’s possible with a clear and confident impact story, and share practical steps to align your team and invite funders into your work.
You’ll leave with reflection questions to help you assess your own story and begin strengthening it so your organization can increase private funding and grow its impact.
