“Hi Mitzie,

I attended both of your storytelling workshops last year and this year at the ACF Faith and Fundraising Conference. I have implemented them across all 5 of our program areas, including all segmented communications and on both of our websites. (I have collected a lot more than 12). 

I would like to share how impactful this work in collecting interviews has been on me. I feel like I have become closer and more passionate as a fundraiser for Bethel Horizons. I am so honored to be able to share the stories of those our ministry has touched. I leave most interviews moved to tears and overwhelmed with gratitude that I get to be a part of our mission.

Thank you for providing the formula and sharing your expertise so I can amplify the voices of those we serve.”
