FactSheets are a method of communication intended to share information about a topic and persuade your audience to take action, particularly in terms of fundraising or advocacy. FactSheets are brief yet rich in data so that they may inspire your audience to get involved and recognize your expertise and commitment. 

On this page, you will find tips on how to create a FactSheet as well as data and image sources to help convey credible and meaningful information.

Before you start your FactSheet, here are some questions to consider:

1. What story do you want to tell?
2. Who is the intended audience for this story?
   (If you have multiple audiences, try to identify distinguishing characteristics among them.)
3. What data, photos, graphics will help tell that story
4. How do you want the audience to respond?

These are just a few of the resources for exploring datasets and statistics. You can find more on this guide's Data page.
