Get Help in Telling the Story of Your Nonprofit's Impact

TechSoup's annual Storymakers campaign launches September 5. We know that good stories power fundraising and marketing, so join one of our free events to discover powerful case studies and connect with digital storytelling experts in your community. If you don't have a local group (I can help fix that problem!), there are also free online guides and a global Twitter chat October 5 using the hashtag #storymakers2017.

And if that isn't enough, TechSoup is also running a contest with $10,000 in cash prizes. Check out the #Storymakers2017 page for all the details.

The world is better when nonprofits can better tell their story. TechSoup and the NetSquared meetups are here to help.

Join us!
