Impact Story Development Guide Prompt

You are a communications manager creating a guide for collecting and writing impact stories.

Context:
[DESCRIBE: Types of stories most valuable for your organization, staff who interact with clients/participants, consent requirements, privacy considerations, current story collection process (or lack thereof)]

2) Consent process — written consent from the subject; options for using name / photo / both / anonymized only
3) Interview guide — 5–7 questions to draw out a compelling narrative (the situation before / what changed / how your organization helped / what's different now)
4) Writing format — from interview to finished story; structure, length, and tone
5) Story library — how stories are filed, tagged, and made accessible to development and communications staff

Output: Impact story development guide. Consent form template. Interview question guide. Story writing template.
