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

We have a story to be written about a woman fighting against frack brine roadspreading on the dirt roads of her whole town. It's a story that needs to be told.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a lot of material including audio interviews., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have some things written down already., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,607 , allowing us to give $2,397 of a lawyers time to help someone who really needs it.

Until recently we have not had the capacity to tell our stories. So your help now will be the foundation of our efforts moving forward. This will help so many aspects of communication from social to in person asks.

Testimonials

Megan was an instrumental help to our organizations communication efforts. After one phone call and providing her with necessary sources of information, she single handedly turned a saga including a complex legal battle, into a digestible client story. As a one man communications team at a small nonprofit I can't overstate how much I appreciate Megan's ability to produce a difficult story on her own with little oversight.

Storytelling Project

My experience with Fair Shake has been nothing short of rewarding. Josh was an excellent resource as he made himself completely available to all my questions and strategically outlined a cohesive plan of action. Fair Shake is significantly impacting countless lives with their selfless passion and dedicated team members eager to serve. It was truly a pleasure writing for Fair Shake and I am grateful for the opportunity to turn a family’s real struggle into a piece that will positively impact many others.
