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 our purpose, vision, mission and values statements, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have information on our strategy and activities, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to dedicate those funds to protecting the security and wellbeing of human rights defenders and others the frontlines of civil society.

We have our new purpose, vision, mission and values statements and other information about who we are and what we do. While these read really well, they need translating into an punchy elevator pitch for new funders and clients.
