Written by: Rowan Vansleve For the past seven years, I have served as the CFO & President of Hope the Mission. On a number of occasions, we have faced a gap. A gap between the amount of money we have and what is needed for our next project. It is in these moments where I discovered that if you run, people will give. When we faced a $40,000 gap to open a transitional age youth shelter, we ran a marathon (26 miles) to close that gap.

But most organizations do not tell stories with a beginning, middle, and end, with conflict and resolution, or with characters and settings. These are fundamental narrative elements for sharing compelling stories, and yet on their websites or annual reports, organizations tend to share vignettes and profiles, not stor
