The Council on Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications have recently completed a scan of the dominant narratives around foundations. Our findings, in short: We need better stories and better language to lift up the positive impact of our work, push back against false narratives, and build trust.
In this overview webinar, we’ll share:
- Insights from social, behavioral and cognitive science that explain why some narratives can be harmful, despite our best intentions
- A set of research-based principles for storytelling that helps others understand the unique role the sector plays in building a better world.
- A peek at our plans for message testing and other research - and how you can be involved.
- Join us to learn more about how nonprofits and foundations can tell stories in authentic and compelling ways that show how change really happens.
