Storytelling helps people understand what statistics alone cannot.

In this clip, Sarah Sherman, Founder of We're Here For You Canada, shares why story is such a powerful way to open up deeper understanding around sexual violence, mental health, poverty, and other connected realities.

This episode of Raising Impact: Storytelling for Nonprofits explores how survivor-led storytelling can challenge harmful assumptions, reduce victim-blaming, and help people connect more meaningfully with complex issues.

Next week on Raising Impact: Storytelling for Nonprofits, we're joined by Sarah Sherman of We're Here For You Canada, a volunteer-run charity that partners with hospitals to provide curated comfort kits to survivors of sexual violence.

In this episode, Sarah shares how her own experience led to the creation of the organization, what dignity and choice can look like in post-assault care, and how storytelling and language can help reduce victim-blaming and deepen understanding.

It’s a powerful conversation about care, partnership, and the role story can play in creating change.

Introducing Raising Impact: Storytelling for Nonprofits.

This podcast started as a way to share stories from nonprofit work in Atlantic Canada. Now, it’s growing into something broader.

As Collaborative Cause continues working with nonprofits across Canada, this new brand gives the podcast room to share conversations from a wider range of nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and people working inside mission-driven organizations.

The focus is still storytelling, but the purpose is clearer: exploring how stories can help nonprofits explain their work, connect with supporters, and show the real people and decisions behind meaningful change.

We’re excited to share this next chapter of the podcast.

A new episode of Raising Impact: Storytelling for Nonprofits is live, and this conversation with Marvin Karon of Shakespearience Performing Arts is full of practical insight.

In this clip, Marvin reminds us that strong nonprofit storytelling is not about leaving history behind. It is about honouring where a story comes from while connecting it to what is happening now, and showing the transformation it makes possible for the people they work with.

From building a bank of testimonials to thinking more intentionally about video, this episode offers useful reminders that storytelling should be an ongoing part of the work.

If your fundraising year already feels busy, you may not need to plan every detail right away.

A simple quarterly fundraising map can help you identify priorities, key donor moments, and communication rhythms before building out a fuller plan.

This week, I’m sharing a practical way to get started with more clarity and less guesswork.
