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

I'm working at an organization that has never had private donors, and so we are working from the ground up, content wise. I want to talk about the compelling reasons our organization's work is important, and deliver it all with a sense of urgency.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mission statement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have descriptions of what our programs do, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to put that money towards rental assistance for low-income, disabled residents of Hudson COunty.

This project will set our organization off on the right foot with potential donors. We are building a whole new fundraising operation, so while I'm building that infrastructure, I need my foundational fundraising tactics to be strong.

HRC owns and manages a small affordable housing project in West New York. HRC also supports low-income, disabled clients and their families with tenant-based rental assistance, and provides HUD-approved rental housing counseling to low income Hudson County residents.

Robert was an excellent elevator pitch coach. He had a structured system for developing public speaking skills, and had constructive feedback and concrete suggestions when I asked for it and needed it. I could not recommend Robert enough.
