An Impactful Opportunity for You!Thank you for your interest in sponsoring Fast Pitch. This unique program prepares leaders of promising nonprofits to better communicate their organization’s mission and impact through a mentoring and coaching process that results in a three-minute pitch.

Each year, SVP works with a cohort of approximately 15 nominated and vetted Chicagoland nonprofits over a two month period. The program culminates with eight finalists presenting at our showcase event to an audience of business leaders, funders, philanthropists, board members, media, and socially-minded Chicagoans. While our audience will be 300+, our networking and digital outreach will ensure the event and acknowledgement of you as a sponsor reaches thousands!

“Pitch Night” is on May 11th at University of Chicago’s Gleacher Center. In addition to the nonprofit pitches, both monetary and pro-bono professional service prizes will be awarded immediately following the presentations at a networking reception where everyone will have the opportunity to meet and learn more about all of the participating nonprofits.

While the judges will determine the winning organizations, each audience member will make their own award by presenting a token to their “winner” during the reception, redeemable by

the nonprofit for $20 (cost included in the $40 ticket price).

We encourage you to join with us to share your story of philanthropic investment, community building, and your role in helping to make Chicagoland a great place to live, work, and play!

Professional marketing/communication award sponsorship:The Fast Pitch event is designed to dramatically improve the presentation of a nonprofit’s mission, organization, and impact. We welcome the opportunity to develop a custom sponsorship opportunity with a sponsoring organization providing a professional service award that aligns with this theme. Examples might include a website redesign, an animated white board presentation, an overview video, or development of a marketing/communications plan for the awardee. The sponsoring organization will be recognized in a meaningful way and present the award at the showcase event.

Similarly, SVP welcomes the pro-bono or reduced-fee support of marketing/graphic design and event-planning agencies to support the success of the Fast Pitch

showcase event.
