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!
What we have in place
  • We currently have a few infographics and marketing materials, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a developing mission and vision, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to apply additional funds to innovative programs such as Personal Finance, Civic Engagement, and Entrepreneurship.

Sharing specific stories about how donations translate into tangible benefits for the community we serve is one of the most effective ways of showing our supporters how much we appreciate them, and of encouraging them to keep giving.

Our mission

Guided by the principles of Public Waldorf education, we celebrate diversity, embrace equity, and cultivate inclusion to create space for an educational experience that bridges opportunity gaps, develops students' academic and life skills, and inspires lifelong learning.

Our Vision
We envision a world where an unwavering belief in the dignity of truth honors and celebrates each student's unique gifts and empowers their self-agency.

Our Values
We engage our students, their peers and families, and the larger community through:
* deep and meaningful relationships of respect and empathy.
* arts-infused exploration and project-based collaboration.
* community and global action that sustains the planet our students will inherit.

What we do

See and honor individuality in all students so that they can attain their unique aspirations.

Desert Sage School is working towards weaving together three important elements (1) Waldorf education with (2) diversity, equity, and inclusion, and (3) Arizona charter. By doing so, we hope to create an accessible educational space where each student can develop their unique capacities, celebrate their culture, and develop their compassion and understanding of others.

Testimonials

I loved working with Richard. He was professional, thorough, and had the skills to take a complicated description of our school's pedagogy and history and turn it into useable content. He helped us write narratives for our website, content to use in letters for prospective donors and families. I would recommend working with him as he was easy to chat with and produced great materials.
