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

It is often difficult for people to understand what a community foundation is all about. I would love to work on developing an concise pitch to communicate this across all audiences in our community to develop and understanding and awareness of our work.

What we have in place
  • We are just completing our strategic planning process and marketing our organization is going to be one of our areas of focus. We have a strong vision and mission and have supported many projects in our community and initiated a Kickstart to Career Children's Savings Account Program. We also provide leadership on many key community issues. My hope is build awareness in the community about the work of the foundation.
How this will help
This project will save us $703 , allowing us to clearly communicate the role of the community foundation and build unrestricted assets for greater community impact. It will also help our board be more confident in serving as ambassadors.

It will help us create awareness in our community about the work of the Foundation and in turn build our unrestricted assets for greater impact in our community.
