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

I know that our work changes young peoples' lives, and I know that it's a game-changer, but how do I distill what we do into an elevator pitch?

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mission statement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have funding case for support, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,187 , allowing us to provide more direct support to students!

A more concise elevator pitch will help us secure funding to keep our mission going.
