1. Tell Your Story

Paul spe­cial­izes in help­ing orga­ni­za­tions tell sto­ries about their work and its impact through case stud­ies, pro­files, and arti­cles for pub­li­ca­tions. His writ­ing brings out the cru­cial details that win com­mu­nity allies and con­vince donors to sup­port you. His sto­ry­telling skills are in demand from a vari­ety non­prof­its, from KFAI Radio in Min­neapo­lis to stone cir­cles in North Car­olina, and even foun­da­tions, such as Open Soci­ety Insti­tute.
