Fast Pitch 2019

Why develop a Fast Pitch for your organization?

Fast Pitch is designed to help you build skills to more-effectively gain support from funders, donors and the community. It will also help you build relationships that may fulfill other needs for your organization: donated goods; board members; strategic advice; training; and volunteer legal, accounting, marketing, or logistics assistance. And, at the end of the eight-weeks coaching process, a total of $20,000 will be awarded to those with the strongest Fast Pitches.

The Winnipeg Foundation seeks leaders from local charitable organizations to take part in Fast Pitch. The program runs January to February, 2019 and the expected time commitment for charitable leaders is approximately 20 hours.

Why volunteer as a Fast Pitch Coach?

Charitable organizations today face huge financial pressures. Many focus on front line service and don’t have the capacity or resources to make an effective case for support with funders and donors. At the same time, many in the business community would like to volunteer their specific expertise, but don’t know where to begin. Fast Pitch provides an effective, focused connection point that is mutually beneficial.

We’re seeking coaches from Winnipeg’s legal, financial, marketing and communication, and business community. The program runs January to February, 2019 and the expected time commitment for coaches is approximately 20 hours.
