Creating your Content
TELL YOUR STORY
Stories should contain a single, compelling
character that is relatable to the audience and who is comfortable relaying
specific details, memories and experiences.
An Effective Character
AuthenticityStories should show—rather than tell—the audience about the
character’s transformation, using rich details and featuring the
character’s own voice, without jargon.
Stories should chronicle something that happens—an experience, a journey,
a transformation, a discovery.
Trajectory
Stories should convey emotions that move
people to act, and marry these with clear, easy-to-
find pathways to get them to those desired actions.
Action-Oriented Emotions
A HookStories should capture the
audience’s attention as quickly as possible, giving
them a sense of whose story it is and what’s at stake.
A C T I V I T Y
1. Break into groups of two.
2. Have one partner tell a story about a constituent impacted by your organisation. (2 min)
3. Share feedback on what you found most compelling about the story, and what could have strengthened the story. (2 min)
4. Switch roles.
What makes an effective story?
Create a content calendar, send
emails, thank your donors, and act on all the hard work
you’ve done.

GG Rewards is a system that rewards and recognizes our nonprofits partners for activities around engagement with the platform and efforts to increase their effectiveness.
Engagement points are for being active in our
community.
Points are earned by actively engaging with the GG platform. For example:
reaching your fundraising goals or thanking donors.
Based on the GG value, Listen, Act, Learn, and Repeat, nonprofit partners begin by completing an activity (i.e.,
watching a webinar) and then reflect on their learnings in a “LALR” cycle for points.
Effectiveness points are for learning
To help our partners activate their networks we offer a calendar of campaigns every year with matching days, photo contests, and
much more!
