In the last three years, Fast Pitch has received applications from over 375 NGOs across the country. But only 12 of these NGOs are selected annually for the final cohort. A selection committee comprising SVP partners from various geographies evaluates these NGOs based on their potential for impact, scalability, sustainability and overall feasibility. The 12 selected NGOs then undergo training and coaching sessions led by the renowned storytelling coach, Ravishankar Iyer, along with three dedicated SVP partners, to craft and present their organization’s impactful story within just 5 minutes. Over the past two years, over 2700 people have tuned into the virtual event, heard pitches from 24 NGOs and raised an impressive Rs. 7.62 crores in donations, proving that Fast Pitch is truly a game-changer for the social sector.
The grand finale event for Fast Pitch 2024 will be held virtually on April 25, 2024. SVP India invites all stakeholders, including philanthropists, corporates and individuals passionate about social impact, to join and support these exceptional NGOs at Fast Pitch 2024.
