Let's talk discoverability versus loyalty. 👉 These two can look really similar for a time, but the results on the backend are completely different.

For example, you might have thousands of followers on Instagram, but that doesn't mean you have thousands of bought-in fans. Having an easy-to-find online presence is helpful. But just because people can find you doesn't mean they care when they do!

So how do you create greater loyalty to your organization?

• Be personal. Little things like responding to comments with an answer to a question, or just to continue the conversation, show your followers that you see and appreciate their interaction.

• Share series. Maybe you go live every Thursday morning, or you share pieces of someone's story over time. These can keep your audience interested in what's coming next and bring them back beyond just one "like".

• Just ask! Whether it's offering the chance to join your newsletter community or inviting them to a fun, upcoming event, work on building a relationship with your fans outside of the few seconds they see you while scrolling.

Thank you to the more than two dozen people who joined us at Tuesday's Storytelling for Year-End Campaigns. What a morning! 👏 It's always great to have a room full of difference-makers in one place — and even better when they're focused on telling better stories!

Good2Give 2026 — it was truly star-studded! ✨ We honored iconic community philanthropists, celebrated big-hearted nonprofits and generous individuals, and together, this one room raised over $450k in one night! 🤩 It was also so fun seeing our designs on display, from a nonprofit "walk of fame" to movie poster recreations to pro videos.

What an evening with our amazing client Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia!

We almost got hit by a car for this. (But we didn’t, and we were in a parking lot, being careful and wearing our seatbelts. 🫶) Please enjoy some outtakes from our practice "Carpool Karaoke!"

We've had SO much fun with short-form video to promote our client Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia's Good2Give Celebration. Check out all the fun skits hyping up Good2Give, including one posted yesterday where our Co-owner Brooke becomes a red carpet thief... 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

"Can a donor clearly picture what changes because we exist?"

CharityEngine posed this question in a recent newsletter. They also explained that telling stories is how you establish this and, in the process, build trust (love it!).

There are a lot of big problems out there, so why should a donor support you? What makes your organization's work, process, culture, etc. different?

These are questions that stories help to answer by showing, not telling.

Don't tell people that your program participants are resilient. Share how Maria went from couch surfing to entering your program to her own apartment and job promotion.

That's the way you SHOW donors that your work changes lives — without tooting your own horn all the time.

You're not wrong for wanting to fix and do all the things. There's a lot of good advice out there, but trying to change your marketing, events, merchandise, programs and fundraising all at once... it's going to overwhelm you and your audience.

What you need isn't more things to do. You need a strategy to organize the "potentially helpful" into a strategic way forward.
