The 11th Annual SVP LA Social Impact Fast Pitch is the culmination of a 10-week training program for innovative, high-impact nonprofits that are driving positive change across Greater Los Angeles.

The program helps nonprofit leaders powerfully communicate their story and connects them with leaders in the business, philanthropic, and nonprofit communities (that’s you!) who will help them achieve their goals.

At the final event on March 21st, eleven nonprofit leaders will each have 3 minutes to pitch to a panel of judges and an audience of over 500, competing to win awards totaling $100,000.

More than half of all ticket sales go to prizes for presenting nonprofits. The remaining funds support SVP LA programming and events like this!

• Coalition for Responsible Community Development (Angela LoBue)
