**Ready to fundraise without feeling awkward, embarrassed, or salesy? Join me for my FREE live Fundraise with Confidence workshop. Save your seat at irisstorytelling.com/fundraising

In this live coaching session with missionary Eleanore, we uncover the deeper problem behind her ministry: single mothers caught in a revolving cycle of housing instability, financial struggles, trauma, and crisis. You’ll hear how we turn the vague phrase “families in crisis” into a specific problem donors can picture and emotionally connect with.

You’ll also learn why strong fundraising messages introduce the conflict before the solution, how story structure can shape your donor communication, and why specificity matters when you’re trying to inspire someone to give.

👉 Work with me one-on-one to clarify your fundraising message, remove the guilt around asking, and create consistent donor communication that actually works.
