Narrative Sample: Restoring the FAM Mound

My favorite part about the fundraising process is working with project leads to craft a consistent narrative document. This document, powered by historical research and our collaborative dream of the future, can be used for pitching, grant applications, sponsorships, and quick-reference to the team. 

​

Matched with a budget, having a narrative document handy can mean the difference between applying to 5 grants, and 50 grants.
