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 want to create a few elevator pitches that can be recorded by youth, board members and staff, then video recorded and shared via social media for GivingTuesday.
What we have in place
- We currently have mission, goals, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have volunteers, youth participants, board and staff, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to focus on fundraising planning for 2022.
It will help us have a great GivingTuesday campaign.
