We know that stories are the lifeblood of a vibrant nonprofit communications strategy. They play a critical role in marketing, fundraising, donor relations, and internal comms. A compelling nonprofit story will inspire lifelong supporters.
However, there is a problem with a lot of nonprofit storytelling.
Traditional marketing teaching tells us to know our audience's pain points, exploit them, and then offer a solution. This can be particularly manipulative in nonprofit marketing since we're working on some of the world's toughest problems. Those we serve are experiencing tremendous pain and often working to overcome insurmountable challenges.
This is where trauma-informed storytelling comes in. On today's episode, my guest Maria Bryan shows us the ways that our sector must tell stories that dignify, respect, and protect the health and well-being of those we serve.
Maria is a nonprofit marketing and messaging strategist who helps nonprofit leaders tell impactful stories that do no harm by speaking about trauma-informed marketing. She has over 15 years in marketing communications in the public sector, a master’s degree in public administration, and a bachelor’s degree in journalism.
In this episode, we discuss the importance of storytelling for nonprofits, how to become a trauma-informed marketer and fundraiser, and how to take care of yourself in this often grueling and exhausting work.
