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

As a grant writer and Development Officer, I talk about our organization a lot. While we are good at describing what we do at some length, we are less good with a brief synopsis: our programs have some wingspan.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a lot of written material, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a communications director and a grant writer, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to increase impact by broadening our reach in the community, both in terms of donors and partner agencies, clients and other community members.

We are often given a brief period of time to describe our work and make an impact on an audience: "say a few words..." We need this to be compelling to those audiences.
