Other times, we talk to our donors through newsletters, e-mails and snail mail letters. In my experience, when we talk about “storytelling” in non-profit fundraising, we’re talking about one of two separate things.

We need to give them the microphone and talk to them as well.” — john a. The temptation to reduce people and groups to caricatures and strip away their humanity, to punish or humiliate those who try to bridge across differences, and to let ourselves get caught up in the win-at-all-costs mentality is real.
