Join a group of nonprofit leaders & staff to explore Storytelling & Narrative Development during a 2-hour Virtual Roundtable. This roundtable will help participants establish clear goals and audiences to sharpen their narrative framework. They will learn to break down their audience into three parts - targets, primary audience, and constituency - and examine the motivations of each so they can more effectively tailor their message.

We strive to co-create spaces of meaningful connection and belonging (these workshops are not webinars). We encourage and model frequent screen and body breaks. We believe collective learning leads to the most innovative and effective outcomes.


This roundtable will be co-facilitated by Ian Madrigal, creative activist and political strategist behind the viral Monopoly Man appearances in Congress, the shaming of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a Mexican restaurant, the literal troll of Mark Zuckerberg and trainer with Center for Story-based Strategy.

This solution room-style agenda invites attendees to:

  • Discuss effective structures to use and questions to ask each time they build a new narrative or adjust an existing one.
  • Ideate with peers, consultants and funders from the nonprofit sector about potential solutions.
  • Learn about tools, practices, and policies that have helped others succeed already in the face of similar challenges.
  • Grow your network of nonprofit industry leaders to continue the conversation.

The virtual session will take place over Zoom.
