The MemoryFox Campfire Community Is Heating Up This Summer
At MemoryFox, we believe the best ideas don’t always come from a webinar stage or a help article. Sometimes, they come from the nonprofit down the road that figured out something brilliant and is willing to share it. That’s exactly what the Campfire Community is all about.
What Is the Campfire Community?
The Campfire Community is an exclusive gathering space for MemoryFox Campfire customers. Think of it as your inner circle: a warm, no-pressure environment where you can connect with peers who are doing the same kind of mission-driven work you are, swap ideas, and leave with something genuinely useful.
These are live, collaborative Zoom gatherings held monthly. They’re not recorded, and cameras are completely optional. There’s no agenda pressure and no sales pitch, just honest conversation among people who care about storytelling and impact.
It’s peer learning at its best: the kind that actually sticks.
Why Peer Learning Matters for Nonprofit Storytellers
Nonprofits are incredibly resourceful organizations, but they’re often working in silos. Your team might be doing something remarkable with participant stories or donor engagement, and the organization two cities over has no idea. Campfire closes that gap.
Each monthly gathering is built around a focused topic relevant to the work MemoryFox customers are doing every day. Month by month, community members step into the spotlight to share their greatest successes, their favorite storytelling strategies and campaign tactics, and their best tricks for engagement. Exploring those tangible examples together has become the human-first approach to learning our community was craving, and that collaborative energy has evolved into a space dedicated to encouraging storytellers to replicate techniques and implement creative ideas at their own missions.
You’ll hear from peers who are figuring it out in real time, share what’s working (and what isn’t), and build a network of fellow storytellers you can actually lean on. The result? You walk away with fresh ideas, practical takeaways, and the confidence that you’re not navigating this alone.

🎓 September: Alumni Voices
Thursday, September 17, 2026
Alumni stories are among the most powerful tools in your storytelling toolkit. They offer proof of long-term impact and help demonstrate the lasting value of your work, long after a program ends.
In September, we’re exploring how to capture alumni voices and engage these important community members as storytellers, advocates, and ambassadors for your mission. We’ll learn from organizations that are already uplifting alumni experiences through MemoryFox to inspire supporters, strengthen community connections, and showcase real outcomes.
