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 would like to refine my/my org's elevator pitch, in order to ensure that I effectively communicate my organization's mission, vision, and impact to potential donors. I'd also like to share a script with my Board members, so they feel more confident joining fundraising efforts.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a copy of our pitch deck, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have copies of prior funding appeals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to use our limited funds to provide transportation to more community members in need.

Refining our elevator pitch will make a huge difference in helping us appeal to potential donors, and will help Board members feel confident that they are sharing the correct message about the organization.
