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
What we have in place
  • We currently have mission, vision and values statements, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have summary of history, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to continue our mission. At the start of the recession 10 years ago, we lost over 87% of our corporate sponsorship and have been struggling to rebuild the support.

Making the case for supporting the arts in the community has gotten harder and harder. While we believe that there are many benefits, it's difficult to get the ever changing board of directors to sing the same song.

Elevator Pitch Coaching Project

Working with Chris to help support TOCA was an incredible experience. Chris was fun to work with, offered timely feedback, and provided me plenty of information and materials to get me started. If they have a future need for volunteers, I would highly recommend sharing your time and skills with this wonderful Foundation!
