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
What we have in place
  • We currently have clear defined goals derived from our mission, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an understanding of our audience, 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 bus passes and assistance with car repairs for our most vulnerable neighbors

Educating and simplifying our message will allow us to reach new donors as well as build a stronger rapport with existing ones.

Elevator Pitch Coaching Project

Working with Yvette at Orion is always a pleasure. Yvette and team have a strong command of their organization, their mission and how they successfully utilize their services to better their community. Together, we worked on an elevator pitch to attract donors large and small that felt accessible not only to the organization and board members of Orion, but also to the donors they look to make a part of the Orion family. I highly recommend anyone considering working with Orion Communities on Catchafire projects to do so.
