Storytelling
Project details
What we need
- A compelling narrative, or set of stories
- Persuasive copy that can be used in appeals to donors, annual reports, grant applications, and media relations
- Popular examples: Organization's founding story, a program achievement or milestone, a look back at the past few years, organizational backgrounder, etc.
- Note: This project is not intended to support your general content planning or marketing but there are several projects in our Marketing & Communications category which are a good fit!
Additional details
In the world of education advocacy, parent and community voices which have sought to make our democratically governed school districts more responsive have been out spent and storied by a false narrative that "choice" will deliver quality and equity. 21st Century School Fund needs help working with its local community partners making the case for an equitable system of neighborhood schools, which has "choice" as a small subset, not the end goal.
What we have in place
- We currently have the exec director, Mary Filardo with time set aside,, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have proposals and other written material to share, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to better support our community partners.
We have a complex position--supporting, yet often tough-love critics of the DC public school system. The danger is that as critics of DCPS the public school system is undermined, when the objective is to improve and support it, not set up the case for more privately operated charter schools.
