NGOs have never had more power at their fingertips.

Storytelling can equal increased fundraising and stronger advocacy.

TechSoup believes that nonprofits around the world must have the capacity to tell their own story. Join #Storymakers2016 to begin the adventure and check out this year's campaign with:

• a brand new, three-part education curriculum guiding you through the pre-production, production and post-production process

• four webinars with storytelling experts sharing their tricks of the trade

• an "Around-the-World" Twitter chat promising over 12 hours of conversation hosted on Twitter by NGOs from India, Kenya, Warsaw, the United States and Canada
