Securing funding or donations for your non-profit, or marketing your social enterprise to build your client list is crucial to the success of your organization, but staff capacity is limited and you may feel like you're recycling the same grant application over and over again. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to explain all the good things your organization does, or share that work with others in a meaningful way.

Are you worried you're not standing out? Fear not! In this workshop, you'll learn the skills to identify the good stories your organization already has --even if you don't know it--and you'll learn how to utilize them over multiple platforms to create a stockpile of marketable material you can draw from and add to. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Learn to identify good stories your organization already has

• Understand how adapt stories across multiple platforms 

• Develop a stockpile of marketable material
