Engagement at Scale: Storytelling as a Vehicle for Relationship

Tuesday September 15th 2026

A story can do more than inspire—it can transform how people see themselves in your mission. In this session, discover how to create compelling, single-person narratives that spark deep emotional connections and invite your audience to become part of the story.

We’ll explore how to stretch the impact of one good story—repurposing it across platforms, campaigns, and donor touchpoints—without losing authenticity. You’ll also see how storytelling can turn casual supporters into loyal advocates by building a genuine sense of belonging.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify and shape narratives that compel readers to see themselves in the story.
• Extend the life and reach of a story with strategic reutilization across multiple channels.
• Foster loyalty by using stories to deepen their sense of belonging to your organization.
