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

As a new Development Director (recently celebrating 3 months) I would like to ensure my "Elevator Pitch" captures my organization effectively as I begin doing outreach to both corporations and individual donors.

What we have in place
  • We currently have mission statement and defined vision, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a strategic plan, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,881 , allowing us to serve more children navigating the foster care system in our community.

Sharing our mission and vision with donors is paramount in securing long term donors. As we enter a phase of planned growth, it is important to identify, secure, and steward regular donors.
