What if your next campaign felt less like a one-off fundraiser and more like a Netflix series — something donors couldn’t stop following?

In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly breaks down the Plot. Pace. Payoff. storytelling framework — an AI-powered approach to building campaigns that hook your audience, build anticipation, and deepen emotional connection.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Plot — Map out your 5-part story arc like a show season, complete with tension, hope, and resolution.

✅ Pace — Release each story strategically to build momentum and anticipation.

✅ Payoff — Close your “season” with gratitude, results, and a teaser for what’s next.

Tom shares how one children’s hospital used this exact format for a six-week series called The Healing Season — doubling donations and inspiring donors to ask, “When does Season Two start?”

If your nonprofit wants to turn casual readers into loyal fans, this episode gives you the exact system to transform your storytelling from random posts to cinematic connection.
