“Doing my elevator pitch following the formula given to us in the workshop, pitching it to a group, and getting feedback was helpful. I improved my pitch. This is the best version so far!"

Impact Focused

Impact-focused organizations are working to solve a social or environmental issue within their community. An organization can also be considered impact-focused if it generates jobs or generational wealth for underrepresented individuals.

Early-Stage ORGANIZATION

Early-stage nonprofits are in the prototyping phase or one to five years from launch. Idea stage organizations are welcome to apply.

Under-represented Entrepeneur
