Non-profit presentations at the meetings should be simple and not exceed five minutes.   Some basic information below will be important to share, but we also suggest telling a story about an impact your organization makes. Tying emotion to these stories makes a big difference to the audience. You can bring hand outs if you want, but this is not required. An oral presentation is fully acceptable. When you are ready to present your organization, here are a list of things that you should be prepared to discuss:

• What is the name of the organization?
• Where is the organization located?
• What is the mission of the organization?
• What purpose does the organization serve? (who, what do they do, how do they do it)
• How would the organization benefit from receiving the donation?
• How will the funds be used?
• What is the organization’s annual budget?
• Who is responsible for discharging funds?
• What are their administrative fees? 
• Are they a recognized 501(c)(3)? (required!)
• If chosen, to whom would members make their checks payable?

Following the initial pitch, the group will have five minutes to ask questions about the organization.
