Pitch deck perfection.

---

Donors snooze through stuffed pitch decks.

And wordy pitches are a fundraising repellent.

Here’s why. ⤵

A pitch deck is only meant to stimulate interest and further conversation. Not convey every detailed aspect of your brand.

Because:

❌ Presentations build buying resistance
✔️ Conversations lower it

But us nonprofit leaders are so accustomed to chasing money and selling our work. Accustomed to the unfair power imbalance with funders, thinking we must impress.

So here’s a winning pitch deck strategy.

It’s designed just for growth-stage nonprofits — based on story arc wisdom and venture capital best practices.

(No, pitch decks aren’t just for the private sector.)

In this two-minute guide, you’ll learn about:

💻 Airbnb’s first and famous pitch deck
🗣️ The average attention span
🚨 5 sections and 10 slides

Tease interest, then talk.
Spark a donor chat, not a nap.

Sculpt your perfect pitch deck now.
