SUMMARY:Fulcrum Member Exchange Ethical Storytelling: Inspiring Action While Honoring Dignity
DESCRIPTION:Fulcrum Member Exchange\nEthical Storytelling: Inspiring Action While Honoring Dignity\nWednesday\, November 11\, 2026 \n12:00 PM to 1:00 PM PT | 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM CT | 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET \nFeaturing Nikki Dutra (she/her/hers) \nSenior Director of Brand Strategy & Marketing \nOrangewood Foundation \nJoin the Exchange\nZoom Meeting Link: \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/88903413541?pwd=0O0mJb772q1zd30srqMBLsTNHsFDDU.1 \nMeeting ID: 889 0341 3541 \n\n\n\nEvery nonprofit has powerful stories to tell. But are we telling them in ways that honor the people whose lives we share? \nStorytelling is one of the most effective tools nonprofits have to educate\, advocate\, inspire generosity\, and demonstrate impact. Yet the pressure to tell emotionally compelling stories can sometimes lead organizations to emphasize hardship over resilience\, organizational accomplishments over individual agency\, and fundraising outcomes over the dignity of the people they serve. \nWhat if we could tell stories that are both more ethical and more compelling? \nJoin Fulcrum Nonprofit Leadership for an engaging Member Exchange featuring Nikki Dutra\, Senior Director of Brand Strategy & Marketing at Orangewood Foundation\, who will share how her organization fundamentally reexamined its approach to storytelling and developed a more intentional\, empowering\, and ethical model. \nDrawing on Orangewood’s experience\, Nikki will explore the principles of ethical storytelling and\, more importantly\, the practical steps involved in putting those principles into action. \nTogether\, we’ll explore:\n\nWhy ethical storytelling matters: How traditional nonprofit storytelling practices can unintentionally diminish the dignity and agency of the people we serve.\nReframing the narrative: Moving from deficit-based storytelling to strengths-based\, person-first approaches that recognize individuals as the drivers of their own stories.\nConsent\, trust\, and empowerment: Giving individuals meaningful control over how\, when\, and where their experiences are shared.\nPutting ethics into practice: How Orangewood developed storytelling guidelines\, consent processes\, participant compensation practices\, and staff training.\nMaking the shift in your organization: Practical strategies for telling stories that inspire action without sensationalizing hardship or compromising individual dignity.\n\nThis will not be simply a presentation. Participants will have opportunities throughout the Exchange to reflect on their own storytelling practices\, discuss real-world challenges\, and practice reframing stories through an ethical lens. \nThe goal is not to make nonprofit storytelling less powerful. It is to make it more authentic\, more empowering\, and ultimately more effective. \nWhether you lead an organization\, oversee fundraising and communications\, or help shape the stories your nonprofit shares\, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about whose stories we tell\, how we tell them\, and who ultimately benefits. \nJoin us for this important conversation and leave with practical ideas you can put to work immediately. \n\n\n\nFulcrum Member Exchanges bring nonprofit leaders together to explore important leadership challenges\, share experiences\, and learn from one another through candid\, practical conversations. \nFulcrum Nonprofit Leadership \nPeople. Ideas. Resources. Impact. \nwww.fulcrumleader.com
