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

We have a series of events coming up which is part of a bigger effort to expand our individual donor base. We would like help coming up with an elevator pitch or more general talking points document for attracting new donors! This will be something we use internally but also pass along to our current donor base to make it easy for them to ask their network.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a written company overview, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have grant proposals, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to help defend people of modest means from the oil and gas and plastic production industry

We are turning a new page in our fundraising efforts to diversify our revenue. For too long we have relied on grant funding to sustain us. This is not a long term sustainable plan so we are laying the ground work to build a donor base that can also support part of our operation costs and add value to the work we do through non-monetary support like volunteering, providing special services, and advocating on our behalf.
