What is Mission Pitch?
Mission Pitch is a high-energy competition where Southern Nevada’s most passionate nonprofit leaders step into the spotlight to share their mission, vision, and impact. You’ll hear powerful stories and bold ideas.
The top 3 scoring nonprofits will receive critical funding that will help support the programs they pitch.
The goal of MISSION PITCH is to empower and support nonprofits in Southern Nevada that make a positive impact in the community they serve. By bringing together individuals, philanthropists and professionals in our community, the event will spark creativity and collaboration to turn vision into reality.
This is your chance to cheer on your peers and learn from their creative approaches.
