What does it take for a nonprofit to craft a compelling, three-minute pitch that captures hearts and minds and maybe even some money? Find out as I welcome Brad Squires, President and CEO of Sacramento Venture Philanthropy, who takes us behind the scenes of the Fast Pitch Finals. With over 50 applicants whittled down to 15, and only eight making it to the finals, this episode offers a sneak peek into the rigorous coaching and vetting process of the program. Brad shares how this event, now in its ninth year, empowers local nonprofits to amplify their impact by honing their storytelling skills.

Discover the excitement leading up to the Fast Pitch Showcase at The Sophia theater this November 7th, where attendees can support their favorite nonprofits through live donations. Hear from Brad about the invaluable skills participants gain, from fundraising to volunteer engagement, and the role of live judges, including your very own host, Me! We also touch on the Class of 2024 and the anticipation surrounding the announcement of the top eight finalists. This program will sell out and we want to be certain everyone knows to move quickly to get their tickets.
