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 am looking to create a 1-minute elevator pitch that I can use to explain my services to potential partners.
In a perfect world, I would also end up with a 1-pager executive summary or a short slide deck along with my pitch.
I have some older, but still relevant, content to use as a baseline for this project but I would like to find someone that can incorporate some new elements that have been introduced since the start of covid-19.
I am new to this organization so this would help me alot.

What we have in place
  • We currently have multiple brochures and positioning content, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have current, post covid program guidelines and desired outcomes, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to serve more people with the existing headcount that we have. The needs of the community are increasing we do not have the budget to hire more people and our systems are nearing capacity.

As a result of the Pandemic, the local ecosystems for community-based organizations related to services for impoverished seniors have changed.

There is a new sense of cooperation in the ecosystem that is requiring our Non-profit to make new partnerships.

The goal is to stitch together disparate services that traditionally were looked at separately.

Currently, we have some partners, but we need to build a pitch that attracts more.

There are approximately 600K people over 60 yrs in need
