The Story Finder Worksheet free nonprofit messaging worksheet from Mighty Maus Media

You're too close to

the work.

You care deeply about what you do.

You know the people, the need, the daily details, and the reason it matters.

That’s exactly why it can be hard to explain.

When everything feels important, the message gets crowded. Donor appeals get vague. Websites get cluttered. Campaigns try to say everything and end up saying very little.

You don't need a new mission. You need to find the one clear story people can understand and act on.

What the worksheet helps you find

The plain-language problem

Strip away jargon and name what your audience actually needs to understand

The human center

Find the person, moment, or change that makes the message matter.

The next action

Connect the story to the thing you want someone to do next.
