Project details

What we need
  • A script for a 1-2 minute verbal pitch that communicates the mission and vision of the Organization, the work the Organization does, and why people should care
  • Advice on pitch delivery and effective communication
Additional details

It'd be awesome if the elevator pitches could be specific to the group we're in front of. For example, we pitch in front of family foundations different than we would if in front of a school board. We also would need a completely different approach while at a networking event at a after work bar versus if we were at a sit-down training event next to the CEO of Intel.

What we have in place
  • We currently have tons of material and words, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have brochures, videos, website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to One month of free summer programming to one student (M-F 7am-6pm).

Over the previous few years, we've had several opportunities to share our story with funders, schools, parents, businesses, etc. However, we know that it isn't compelling enough to resonate with any of the groups except for those that know (intuitively) what the issues are. This project will help us to have an impactful start in dialogue when someone asks "What do you do?" or "What is The Village Method".
