Event Details

Many nonprofits have stories and messages that reinforce deficit stereotypes—and at Mission Minded, we've been guilty of writing stories that way ourselves. The problem is that this kind of story trains our minds to believe in relationships of dependence instead of interdependence, subsequently viewing and operating our donor relations the same way.


In this workshop, you'll learn how to utilize asset-based framing—framing stories through a communities' aspirations and contributions rather than their challenges and deficits—to shift how donors see themselves in relation to your organization. Reframing your stories will help donors participate in your work rather than be the saviors of it, engaging them more deeply and meaningfully.
