I’ll be leading this session at GiveCon 2026, a national conference focused on fundraising strategy, donor engagement, and nonprofit growth.

Donors don’t respond to programs alone. They respond to stories that help them understand why the work matters and how they are part of it.

This session focuses on how to develop strengths-based narratives that deepen donor connection, support long-term engagement, and reflect the dignity of the communities being served. We’ll look at how to pair data with human-centered storytelling in ways that are both compelling and credible.

Participants will leave with practical techniques they can use immediately in appeals, campaigns, and stewardship to strengthen donor relationships over time.
