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

Buffalo Field Campaign is ready to launch our new monthly membership program. We have the Problems/Solutions written out, the membership levels, the features of each level, and the staff and supporter base to launch the program. Now, we need to refine our "elevator pitch" or "ask" in a mindful way that carries the full weight of integrity.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a comprehensive membership offering, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a robust and active supporter base, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to broaden our scope in the policy arena as well as with Native Outreach and Alliance Building.

As a grassroots nonprofit, BFC constantly has our feet held to the fire of transparency and integrity. We are proud of our 25 years of work and of the heart behind our new membership program. Monthly membership could ensure that we meet our annual operating budget consistently and seamlessly each year...meaning we can infuse our policy, outreach and field work with more directed funds thus ensuring that Wild Migratory Buffalo have Room to Roam and Restore!

Our mission

To stop the harassment and slaughter of Yellowstone's wild buffalo herds; protect the natural habitat of wild, free-roaming buffalo and other native wildlife; and work with all people--especially Indigenous Nations--to honor and protect the sacredness of wild buffalo.

What we do

BFC has a year round field presence in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem where our volunteers venture out on foot, bikes, skis, snow shoes, and in vehicles to document any action taken to haze, capture, slaughter, or domesticate America's Last Wild Migratory Bison and Our Country's National Mammal!

Read the Impact Story
Kathryn nailed it! She spent time speaking with me and viewing some of our documentary shorts to familiarize herself with our work and mission. Then she used her creative writing prowess to come up with a short, powerful and informative elevator pitch for our new membership program.
