Elevator Pitch Coaching

Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining feedback on pitch delivery with suggested next steps and/or resources
  • A script for a 1-minute verbal pitch that communicates your Organization's mission, work, and why people should care
Additional details

I regularly speak about our organization for fundraising and membership recruitment. My current 'elevator speech' is stale. I would like help honing my organization's message to be more engaging and inspiring.

What we have in place
  • Organizatinal materials including mission statement, tag lines.
    Marketing materials including brochures. fundraising appeal letters and one pagers.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to offer five full memberships to older adults in our neighborhood who cannot afford our $500 annual fee.

My project request is important because we are growing and my current 'elevator speech' needs to address the changes in our organization as well as our impact.
