Messaging & Storytelling Challenges Faced by Social Enterprises, CDFIs & Nonprofits
Three common obstacles hinder organizations from implementing effective community messaging and storytelling.
Lacking Time & Skills
Leaders often lack sufficient time to effectively track and record their impact or identify compelling stories unless it is for compliance or reporting purposes. This can be compounded when they do not naturally excel at public messaging, lack a dedicated marketing department, or build an impact program with new Key Performance Indicators.
Struggle With Tracking
Leaders are often challenged with what and how to track their work efficiently, a crucial foundation for narrating their story in a compelling way. Lack of proper framework and expertise in data collection and narrative framing can create overwhelm.
No External Recognition
It is easy for leaders to feel discouraged when their significant efforts fail to gain the external recognition they believe they deserve, especially from potential funders. This can lead to frustration and decreased motivation, impacting overall effectiveness and deterring the pursuit of ambitious projects that require external support.
If more people understood the impact of your work, it would lead to greater community support and engagement.
It’s often challenging to articulate your story effectively when you’re deeply involved in the day-to-day. We’re here to help craft a clear, compelling message that truly resonates.

Benefits of Working with PHI for Program Implementation
Helping You Succeed
Leveraging our process, you will experience less pressure during compliance and reporting periods. Always be ready to share your story clearly, whenever an opportunity presents itself, and communicate with such clarity and conciseness that it naturally builds brand ambassadors.
After engaging with our process, clients report experiencing a transformative shift, becoming “visible and attracting new opportunities,” effectively elevating their presence and impact in their respective fields.
And Avoid Failure
Without a clear process, you risk gaps in essential data at reporting times, potentially miss critical opportunities to engage key stakeholders, and are less perceived as a leader in your field. This will ultimately hamper your ability to foster relationships with funders and influencers.
