With this being a milestone episode, I'm doing a solo episode because there’s a topic I really want to discuss. It's a question I think so many nonprofits are wrestling with right now, as they navigate as marketers and fundraisers in this time where undivided attention seems increasingly scarce.
It’s a question I saw writ large at a recent conference: the Nonprofit Innovation & Optimization Summit, or the NIO Summit. It’s an annual conference that brings in nonprofit professionals from the U.S., Canada, and beyond. I was asked to speak, which was a memorable experience, discussing nonprofit storytelling with 600 people in the crowd. But I also sat in the crowd and listened to most of the other speakers, and I could see before me the very clear crossroads so many of you are facing in the nonprofit storytelling space: quantity vs. quality.
In some ways this is an age-old debate. But it’s right there in front of all of us now because of a variety of changes to the storytelling landscape.
