What it reported doing in 2024

Philanthropitch conducts a social impact fast-pitch competition that provides non-profit organizations with access to human and financial capital. In this high energy event, non-profit participants are given a platform to present innovative ideas for dramatically impacting the community. Selected non-profits have three minutes to present their pitch to a panel of judges and audience members. Winners are awarded cash prizes to help implement their ideas. The competition drives change in local communities by providing social innovators with the tools they need to take their model to the next level, giving forward-thinking leaders the platform to express their visions, awarding funds to accelerate those visions, creating networks and connections to help these visions come to life, and educating local communities on how to support impactful initiatives.
