We don't need more “poverty porn” in our fundraising.

I used to think telling hard stories was the only way to move donors—but I was wrong. If you’ve ever felt uneasy asking clients for stories, or unsure if your consent process would stand up to scrutiny, you’re not alone. I sat down with ethical storytelling expert Carly Euler from MemoryFox to explore how we can uplift voices, protect dignity, and still inspire major gifts.

What would it mean for your mission—and the people you serve—to get storytelling right, not just for dollars raised, but for true community trust?

Listen to this episode and share it with someone ready to transform their approach to fundraising stories.
