Story-Driven Strategy

Story-driven strategy documents the story of your program by bringing together stories and quotes from the people who know it best. We help collect those stories and put together a portfolio of written content that you can use for grant proposals, social media, and more.

What’s Included?

  • Up to 15 interviews (founders, team, community partners)

  • Full transcripts of interviews

  • 3–5 page narrative

  • Featured Quote Library

  • Guidance for how to integrate stories and quotes into your writing and content creation

  • Optional: Slide deck, 1-pager, timeline visual, thematic analysis

    Timeline: 3-6 months (depending on the nature of the project)

Why it Matters

Your program’s story deserves to be told with care, clarity, and the voices of those who shaped it.

  1. Funders, partners, and collaborators respond to narratives that feel authentic and connected to lived experience.

  2. A well-documented story helps you move your work forward on your own terms while opening doors to new resources, relationships, and recognition.

  3. This isn’t just about storytelling. It’s about building trust, reflecting your values, and using your narrative as a strategic tool for growth and sustainability.

Who This is For

  • Communications or Development staff who want impactful stories that will connect with supporters and donors

  • Program founders who are onboarding new team members and want to pass on the story with clarity and care
