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

Ensure that deliverables are presented in a way which will encourage donors to learn about and donate to our nonprofit.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website with our mission and what we do, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have social media pages, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to (pre)register and empower countless young people. New Voters really cannot put a price on the importance of youth civic engagement because it is so crucial.

New Voters is a nonprofit that will directly impact the lives of so many young people. Our non-partisanship will allow the youth to register to vote and make their voices heard at the polls. However, 100,000 students registered can only be accomplished with sufficient funding, which will be easier to attain once managers in our Fundraising Department are trained how to give the perfect elevator pitch.

Our mission

New Voters' mission is to register the youth of America to vote. We are based out of Pennsylvania, but have since expanded to include high schools across the country. We simply want to enable young people--regardless of their political views--to be more politically active, and to express their viewpoints via the voting box.

What we do

New Voters is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works with high school student-leaders across America to help them host highly-successful non-partisan voter registration drives at their schools. In 2018, New Voters school chapters helped register over 7,000 graduating seniors, supported completely by student volunteers. New Voters provides a comprehensive student-run training program tailored to each school, relying on a "student training students" approach. New Voters operates with the goals of registering young people to vote early, reminding them to vote before every election, building the next generation of educated voters, and fostering a culture of non-partisanship.

Testimonials

This was my first Catchafire project and I am so glad that I was paired with such a helpful professional! Christine offered so much amazing insight to our project and truly made our ideas come to life. I appreciated how she was very professional but also understanding and flexible with all that was happening. Her expertise could benefit a variety of different projects and would recommend working with her!
