The Power of Narrative in Social Impact: How Storytelling, Digital Advocacy, and Strategic Philanthropy Drive Change
The stories we tell—and how we tell them—shape funding decisions, influence policy, and mobilize action. In this interactive session, Kindred Motes, Founder & Managing Director of KM Strategies Group, will explore how communications, digital strategy, advocacy, and philanthropy intersect to create lasting change.
What to Expect:
Learn from real-world case studies on how storytelling and digital engagement drive impact.
Apply insights in a hands-on strategy exercise, developing narrative approaches for pressing issues.
Participate in a collaborative discussion to refine storytelling best practices for mobilizing people, shaping policy, and securing funding.
Engage in an open Q&A session to explore real-world challenges in social impact communications.
Why This Matters:
Too often, philanthropy and advocacy treat communications as an afterthought rather than a central tool for impact. This session will challenge that mindset, offering new ways to leverage storytelling as a driver of change. Whether you work in philanthropy, advocacy, or social impact—or are simply looking for innovative ways to make a difference—this session is for you.
