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

We have two projects that are especially central to our work now that I think would be good to focus on as part of the pitch.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a new 5-year strategic plan, with values, vision, & mission, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a new landing page on our website, with the new campaigns, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to provide new places for the public to enjoy the outdoors safely. The pandemic has put stress on our properties, as people seek the restorative qualities in the natural world.

As the executive director, I am often in the position of trying to summarize concisely what we do, but I have not made a dedicated, focused effort to do so. I feel like I have been effective due to my knowledge and passion for what we do, but I feel like every talk I give is different, and the quality varies from pitch to pitch. I think the importance of our work is sometimes passed over when I talk.

We now need to raise large capital for two land conservation projects; the pitch will be key.
