So, final session and potentially on to the pitch:
So we will start our final session recapping, learning some new things and then you will have the opportunity to prepare for your first iteration of sharing your project and think about your pitch if you’d like to take this further. We will be joined by Project Chakra.
If you’d like to take your idea further your pitch for seed funding will be in May. It can be in any format that you wish, powerpoint or no powerpoint, it has to work for you and feel right for your project!
You want your pitch include to tell a great story, capture your audience, and get the funders to see the potential in your ideas (that are awesome, so you should share how awesome they are!) So, carefully consider…
- Exactly what your project is about – concisely telling the audience what it is
- Your WHY – why are you here, who are you/what are you about?
- Your story – setting the scene and introducing your project
- Who is it for
- What you need and why (what money and resources etc)
- How you want to use the SEED Funding
- How you will measure impact, gather any evaluative content or celebrate your project outcomes
- Your hopes, big term goals and aims for the future, the legacy
- Remind everyone of your why, and end with a call to action (what you need again)
