Mitzie Schafer, CFRE, brings over 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership and fundraising, specializing in storytelling strategies that deeply connect donors to the impact of their generosity. At the Nonprofit Storytelling Workshop, Mitzie will share her expertise in crafting compelling narratives that not only inspire donors but also drive significant growth in giving.

Her session will focus on how nonprofits can develop and implement storytelling strategies that resonate with their audience.
