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

An elevator pitch that will overcome: resistance to the very idea of homeless in our communities, the notion that taking care of our homeless will entice other homeless to our communities. (We are basically a resort area)

What we have in place
  • We currently have Mission Statement and Vision Statement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have recent feedback from community members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to dedicate more resources to the homeless

Our org is young and has never had this type of tool! This will raise our level of sophistication and hopefully, effectiveness in raising local funds.
