The Power of Authentic Storytelling for Nonprofits

Deepens Stakeholder Relationships:

Authentic storytelling lets nonprofits connect on a deeper level with their supporters, volunteers, and beneficiaries. It creates a sense of community and shared purpose.

Featured film

Impact Story - On Angels' Wings

On Angels' Wings needed an impact story to help donors and supporters understand how their photography and grief support services help families that experience infant loss. My films have helped them see a consistent 40% increase in donations over the past 3 years at their annual fundraising event.

"I heard from several in attendance that the stories from our recipients helped them more deeply understand the impact of our organization." - Michelle Cramer, On Angels' Wings

"Julie did such a beautiful job sharing my story and my heart for the vulnerable. When we started the journey of the Film process, my guard was up as I had had other experiences that did not stay as authentic and true as what I had hoped. I could not be more pleased with the final film. It was authentic. It was genuine and amazing! I cannot highly recommend her and her work and heart enough!" - Christine C. McDonald

Trusted by mission-driven organizations to tell their most important stories.

On Angels' Wings

We don't have a way for the community to observe what we do because of the intimate circumstances of our services. Julie listened closely to our vision and we're beyond pleased with the results.

My story of transformation

Julie Stoecker,

Filmmaker, based in Southwest Missouri

My passion for authentic storytelling was born out of a defining experience in Cuba, where I witnessed firsthand how a large marketing firm distorted the stories of local pastors to fit a narrative. It was devastating to see their passion and resilience lost to an unconnected marketing slogan. This moment sparked my deep commitment to authentic storytelling.

I ensure that nonprofits have a voice that’s true to their mission and deeply connects to their audience. Driven by integrity and purpose, I capture the heart of each organization’s story, empowering them to create a lasting impact. I help nonprofits grow their reach, inspire action, increase donor support, and foster stronger connections with their communities.
