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 have a speech written for when I have 10-15 mins, but I'd love to have a super quick pitch refined for the moments when I run into someone out and about, have brief meetings with a sheriff or probation officer, or do a radio or TV spot. Audience is going to range from other agencies who might help our women with some aspect of life or donors or volunteers or law enforcement or other treatment providers.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a longer written speech and written fundraising materials, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a website, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to pay rent for the transitional house for almost three months.

Help me fundraise and interest more volunteers, get other agencies on board

Our mission

Our mission is to cultivate a nurturing interim living space for women in recovery from substance use disorder, reconnecting them with self, God, community and creation.

We do this by welcoming women who are committed to the hard work of recovery and providing them with a creative and relational space that fosters long-term transformation.

What we do

Beneath the Shade residents will participate in group and individual studies throughout their stay that focus on healing trauma, basic financial management skills, relationship and community building, work ethics, and developing a relationship with God*. The women will work individually and as a group with counselors and a mentor, learn the important of exercise and volunteerism and participate in all the aspects of home care (meals, garden, yard care, taking care of the hens, etc.). They will also be required to work while they live at Beneath the Shade.
