At Ottawa StoryTellers, we believe stories can change lives. They connect us, inspire us, and reflect the world we live in. That’s why your support is so important—because behind every story we bring to life is someone like you, who believes in the power of storytelling.

As Artistic Director, I’ve had the privilege of seeing how your donations make a direct impact—not only on our audiences, but on the artists we support and the community we serve.

Here are just a few examples of what your donation makes possible:

• $100 helps us pay a talented storyteller to perform at Story Café, our monthly performance series that brings vibrant, diverse voices to the stage.

• $250 helps cover artist fees for our Signature Series, supporting professional tellers as they present captivating, high-quality shows in Ottawa’s thriving arts scene.

• $500+ can help us fund a storytelling workshop, giving new and emerging tellers the chance to grow their skills and find their voice.

• Any amount contributes to the success of community outreach, artist development, event production, and audience engagement.

Your funding allows us to:

• Create unforgettable storytelling events across the city

• Pay professional artists fairly for their time, talent, and creativity

• Develop new works, giving tellers the space to experiment and grow

• Offer workshops and mentorship, building the next generation of storytellers

• Promote our work locally, ensuring more people discover the magic of live storytelling

• Connect deeper with our community, so that storytelling remains accessible, inclusive, and alive

Every gift, no matter the size, helps sustain this work—and we truly couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you for helping us keep the stories going.
