To write nonprofit impact stories, point Maito at your program notes and say the audience and length. Maito reads them, drafts the story, checks the consent forms in your files, removes details that could identify someone, and lists what you must confirm before the story goes out.
How it's done today
Good stories never get written down.
What Maito does
- Read notes and quotes
- Draft a short story
- Remove anything private
Example
@Maito write an impact story from the Reading Buddies October notes in Drive. It's for the donor newsletter, about 300 words.
Draft attached: reading-buddies-story.docx (302 words). The opening: 'In September, Mia read her first full chapter book. She is nine. Her buddy, Dee, brought the book in a tote bag every Tuesday for six weeks. 'I wasn't sure I could do it,' Mia told her. By week six, she was reading it aloud to the group.' Consent check: • Mia's mother signed for a story and a first-name quote, Sept 12. Not for a photo. • Dee's quote is approved. The catch: the notes name Mia's school and her street. I removed both. You should confirm the consent before it goes out. I've also left out the reading level, since the form doesn't cover assessment data. Want a shorter version for the website?

What it won't do

Questions
It reads the consent notes in your files and uses only what's covered, such as a first name but no photo.
