  • Where Are You Making a Difference?

    Where Are You Making a Difference?
    Feb 24 2026

    Part of the Building Blocks of Storytelling Series.

    You've found Life and Mission in a series on the six building blocks of storytelling: Who, What, Where, Why, When, and How. So far, we’ve looked at WHO and WHAT.
    Today, we’re looking at WHERE. Where are you? Where do you do what you do?

    You can help donors feel the "atmosphere" of your location — bring them closer, let them see and hear and taste and smell. Let them feel the weight of the place, get some sense of the challenges (or joy) of working there.

    Sharing about WHERE you work helps provide the context that gives the rest of your story meaning. It’s an essential element in helping your donors “see” your work more clearly.
