I read a great copywriting book that was about writing with vigor. “Brevity is vigor.”
The same holds true in telling stories. Especially in the nonprofit world. We’re all so bombarded with requests for our attention, we tend to zone out the long and involved. If you’re asking for my money or my time, please, get to the point.
That is exactly the point of the second annual Fast Pitch event produced by Social Venture Partners AZ. SVPAZ is now taking applications from local nonprofits that would like to compete for tens of thousands of dollars in funding. If your organization is fortunate to make the final eight, you will compete onstage at the Tempe Center for the Arts on March 6, 2012, to become the next SVPAZ investee.
All you have to do is tell your story in less then three minutes. That’s what P.O.P.S.I.C.L.E. Center did earlier this year to win the inaugural Fast Pitch. Here’s their story, as well as the other seven finalists.
Now, we’d like to hear yours. The deadline for registration is October 31, 2011. Register Now!
