Storytelling and Social Change: A Strategy Guide for Grantmakers

This guide from Narrative Arts is about how to use narrative strategies to advance social change. Grantmakers will find guidance and considerations regarding how and why to:

  • Make story grants to advance their own program goals in any issue area, and evaluate the impact of funded work;
  • Tell or solicit stories as a foundation to communicate effectively with prospective grantees, prospective donors, local communities, and other stakeholders; and
  • Use storytelling internally to sharpen the foundation’s focus.
