Vous êtes à la recherche de financement pour votre organisation. Comment pouvez-vous transmettre l’impact sans vous noyer dans les détails ?

When you tailor the message, you can also connect the story to current events. This can include, mentioning locally researched studies and action recommendations. (I.E. HUD, city, county, state, etc).

To convey your organization's impact effectively without overwhelming with specifics, start by understanding your audience and tailoring your message to their values and interests. Focus on creating a narrative that aligns your organization's goals with the funder's mission, showing how your work furthers their objectives. Highlight key outcomes and success stories that resonate with them, emphasizing the broader significance of your work rather than diving into minute details. This approach makes your funding appeal persuasive and impactful, keeping it focused and relevant.

I have found it helpful to create a list of data points that show a need within the community, another list of data that shows proven impact, and work alongside our program team to gather impactful testimonials from those we service. Then, after reviewing the goals of the foundation, select 1-3 data points (depending on the allotted word or character count) and 1-2 impactful testimonials. That way, you aren't overwhelming the reader with an excessive amount of data, or telling a lengthy story that may lose the readers' attention. Remember - there is usually an option for additional attachments, where you can include a success story and impact reports!

To deliver your organization's impact effectively, share concise success stories that vividly illustrate your positive outcomes. This approach makes your work relatable and memorable without overwhelming funders with details.

To convey your organization’s impact without getting bogged down in specifics, focus on outcomes rather than processes. Highlight the tangible changes and benefits your work has achieved, showing funders the real difference their support can make. This keeps your message clear and focused on what matters most to them—results.

To simplify complex ideas follow this simple formula. -Clearly articulate the need you are going to meet or problem you are going to solve. Utilizing storytelling here can be very effective especially when it appeals to empathy. -Demonstrate the value of the funders support. Showing them how their investment will solve this problem or address this need. -explain why you are best equipped to solve this problem or address this need. What makes you unique or qualified. -share the target outcome(s) you hope to achieve through the donors support. Demonstrate the vision of what this could accomplish. -You are building a relationship with this funder and to do that you have to build a connection. Always be authentic, transparent and honest.

Use of visual aids like charts and infographics could simplify complex information, allowing funders to quickly grasp the breadth and depth of your work, reinforcing your message clearly and concisely.
