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

We'd like to create an elevator pitch to present this new organization.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a draft of the mission statement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a one-pager about the org and a power point presentation, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to maximize our budget to provide community owned housing and support services for people living with serious mental illness and extremely low incomes.

We are in the stage of creating an organization where we are reaching out to members of the community to get their buy-in. If we can create a clear and concise, yet sensitive, accessible and inclusive explanation of the organization and its intent, we have a greater chance of building strong community partnerships. With these alliances we hope to collaboratively provide quality housing for people living with serious mental illness and extremely low incomes.
