Get Your Story Down: A Personal Storytelling Masterclass

Apr 22, 2026 • 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Communications • Virtual Event

Offered by Gardner Philanthropy Consulting, the second workshop of this 3-part storytelling series will walk you through exercises and conversations to describe your work more clearly, identify what makes you, your role, and your community unique, and discover authentic, value-driven language that brings your story to life.

At the heart of everything nonprofits do — grant writing, donor conversations, newsletters, events — is the ability to clearly and compellingly share our organization’s story. It’s what opens doors and inspires people to give. And yet, it’s a skill most of us were never taught.

Join Ben Tanzer, an Emmy-award winning writer, in Words Matter, a three-part storytelling workshop series designed to help you uncover your personal and organizational “why” — and turn it into messaging that truly connects. Each session stands on its own, though together they offer a powerful, cohesive experience.

This series is for anyone involved in nonprofit work: Executive Directors, Development Staff, Program Leaders, Board Members, and Volunteers.
Wednesday & Thursday, April 22 & 23 (2-hour sessions): Interactive workshops ($59 each or $99 for both sessions)

Eligible for support through Rotary Charities Learning Fund.
