Please use this sheet to prepare for meeting presentations. It doesn't need to be turned in but use it as a guide. You’ve got 5 minutes to MAKE YOUR PITCH so make it COUNT!:
Talking Points
Be prepared to speak briefly and potentially answer a few questions from the audience about the following:
1. Start with an engaging opening line. (“Every month, 75 women in our community are involved in a domestic violence dispute.”)
2. State your name and the name and location of the organization.
3. State whether they are a recognized nonprofit organization in your community.
4. Describe the service area of the organization and whom they serve.
5. State the organization’s mission statement and speak to what they do overall and how their services benefit the community.
6. Be prepared to speak to the organization’s finances, including the size of their annual operating budget and how much they spend on admin/fundraising.
7. Describe specifically how our funds will be used, providing some background, if possible, on the following: is this a new or existing program; does the non profit have a plan in place to sustain the program after our funds have been used; how many people the funds will impact; whether the program is essential and what our community will miss if it does not get funded; measurements to be used to ensure success of the program and good use of the donation.
8. Don’t forget to tell a story of a person/animal positively affected by the organization.
9. End with a heartfelt ask and a thank you.
