Would your current donors and community describe your organization the same way?

Who are you?
What do you do?
Why is it important?
Imagine if you had to explain your organization to a potential funder in a clear and concise way. Aim for under one minute in your explanation!
The average attention span of a human being was calculated to be 8 seconds in 2013.
This is one second less than the attention span of a goldfish.
