The impact archive
A library of stories your organization can actually use
Most nonprofits are sitting on years of extraordinary stories.The problem isn’t that the stories don’t exist. The problem is “bandwidth bottleneck:” no one on staff has the time, structure, or editorial support to capture and organize those stories well.
An Impact Archive is designed to solve that problem.
This offering helps organizations build a professionally written bank of deeply reported human stories that can be repurposed across fundraising campaigns, annual reports, grant applications, donor communications, social media, websites, presentations, and strategic messaging.
Instead of scrambling for a compelling anecdote every time you launch a new campaign or program, an Impact Archive provides you with a lasting storytelling asset your organization can draw from for years.
What’s included
A full day of organizational “story sessions” with program participants, staff, community members, and leadership, designed to surface the organization’s most compelling stories
Follow-up research, interviews, and contextual reporting to strengthen narrative depth
15–25 professionally written impact stories (typically 500–1,000 words each)
Delivered as an interactive PDF or web site with tagged content, story excerpts, pull quotes, and approved media
Editorial guidance on ethical storytelling practices and consent
Strategic recommendations for integrating stories into existing communications channels
Ideal for
Annual reports
Capital campaigns
Fundraising and donor relations
Grant support materials
Website refreshes
Milestone anniversaries
Organizations wanting to move beyond generic “success stories” toward more meaningful narrative work

The Narrative Project
Books, longform storytelling, and legacy-defining work
The Narrative Project is designed for organizations, founders, activists, and social impact leaders who want to develop a major storytelling project: a book, memoir, documentary narrative, oral history, investigative narrative, or large-scale written work capable of advancing a mission beyond a single campaign cycle.
These projects are immersive, collaborative, and deeply strategic.
Sometimes the goal is public awareness. Sometimes it’s movement building. Sometimes it’s preserving a story before it disappears or helping someone finally tell the truth about what they lived through.
This process blends deep reporting, literary storytelling, editorial development, and narrative strategy to create work that can live in the world for years.
What’s included
Narrative strategy and development
Longform interviews and research
Writing, ghostwriting, developmental editing, or collaborative co-writing
Structural and editorial guidance
Audience and publishing positioning
Grant and funding support for mission-driven projects
Messaging support for launch, speaking opportunities, or platform development
Potential project formats
Memoir
Organizational history
Founder story
Community oral history project
Investigative or advocacy-driven storytelling
Anniversary or legacy books
Funding support
Stories shouldn’t belong only to organizations with massive marketing budgets. Ghostwriting for Good helps identify funding opportunities to support full narrative projects through grants, donors, sponsorships, or institutional partnerships.
