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

St. John Wildlife Rehabilitation works with animals on a small island in the Caribbean; knowing what to say in a snapshot, and how to interface with humans who just might be potential donors is something we need help with!

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mission statement and other background information, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have the passion and desire to move forward, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to better develop our support base and engage potential donors while using limited funds to continue hands-on rehabilitation work.

We provide wild bird and other animal rehabilitation and need to develop our donor base. Part of this is knowing how to property articulate what we do and excite prospective supporters!

Testimonials

What a wonderful experience! Rob distilled the essence of our organization and our goals - delivering a clear, concise and usable pitch that gets to the heart of what we are all about. He took time to work with us on how to deliver the message - a key part of working with potential donors or those looking to volunteer their time to our organization. Rob gets top marks!

Elevator Pitch Coaching Project

Working with Phyllis at St. John Wildlife Rescue was a wonderful experience. As a newer organization, they are at the point where they want to take their message wider within the St. John Community. The services her organization provides are especially important given how the wildlife on the island was devastated by the Category 5 hurricanes of 2017. Together, we used Phyllis' extensive knowledge and passion of both the wildlife and community dynamics of St. John to craft an elevator pitch that will allow her and the rest of her team to target financial and human capital donors to expand their organization. I would highly recommend working with Phyllis and St. John Wildlife Rescue.
