Nonprofit Impact Story Writer

## CONTEXT
Donors in 2026 give to organizations that prove both heart and effectiveness; emotional appeals alone no longer suffice when givers can compare impact metrics across charities.

This prompt produces an impact story that moves donors emotionally while demonstrating the rigor that earns major gifts and grants.
