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 are currently in the process of trying to recruit more contractors to come work for our program. With a booming construction industry, we have having troubles getting people to join our team. I am looking for help creating a pitch to get people to love our mission and want to join our team.
What we have in place
- We currently have marketing material, contractor bonuses, marketing flyers, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a well defined mission and strategy for success, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to put that money directly to covering the labor costs of the new contractors we bring on.
We have a goal of completeing critical home repairs at 400 individual homes this year. We have the clients and systems in place and ready to go, but we just need more contractors to do the actual repair work to help us meet our goal and make a difference in our community.

Our mission
Transform communities by providing free, critical repairs and comprehensive services to low-income veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities. Our impact extends beyond individuals served, to revitalizing and stabilizing vulnerable neighborhoods.
HOME BY HOME, BLOCK BY BLOCK, ENTIRE COMMUNITIES ARE TRANSFORMED.
What we do
Revitalize Milwaukee is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose goal is to preserve affordable housing and revitalize vulnerable neighborhoods throughout Milwaukee and Waukesha counties. We are the largest provider of free home repairs to eligible homeowners in Southeast Wisconsin and the only one that provides them for free. While we directly impact individuals and families, we also improve economic stability by keeping long-term, existing homeowners in their homes. This stabilizes neighborhoods and the tax base paid to the city.
Over time, health and safety issues develop from the inability to pay for repairs and other necessary services. Without our free services, many Milwaukee residents would suffer serious injuries or even be forced to move out of their homes that they've lived in for over 30 years.
We employ 15-17 City of Milwaukee licensed and insured minority contractors on a daily basis, providing sustainable wages and helping the local economy.
We operate on an annual budget of 1.7 million dollars. Each dollar received is leveraged approximately 4:1, creating a total reinvestment of $18.2 million dollars back into the community. Over 99% of our funding comes from private sources (grants, corporations, and individuals). Currently, government funding is limited to 0.9% of the budget.
