Tips on Presenting Your Non-Profit
You'll have 5 to 7 minutes, including questions & answers...
Be Prepared
-
Ask yourself: What are the key points I want chapter members to know about my non-profit nomination?
-
Prepare brief, concise key points and share them in the course of your talk.
Share Your Non-Profit's Information
-
Formal name and location
-
Mission of the organization
-
Specific use of the monies if the charity is selected
-
Annual budget amount
-
Number of clients supported
-
Explain the measurements that will be used to ensure success of the program
Start Strong and Keep it Simple
-
The beginning of your presentation is crucial. Have an engaging opening.
-
Give chapter members the information needed to select your nominee.
-
Use notes, handwritten or electronic, to keep you on track.
-
Smile, Make Eye Contact, and Project Your Voice
Save Time for Questions from Chapter Members
-
A timekeeper will let you know how much time you have left.
-
Focus on directly answering their questions and need for information. Going off on tangents takes away powerful persuasion time!
-
If you don’t know something, it is okay to say something like “I’m not sure of the full answer; here is some information that may be helpful to you.”
-
Don’t be surprised if other chapter members chime in support and answers of something you may not know!
Close with a Heartfelt “Ask”, and a Thank You
-
Think about why you have nominated the non-profit, and why it is important to YOU for them to receive the donation. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
AND, Relax, Breathe and Have Fun!
-
Nominating a non-profit and persuading the chapter to vote for it is a VERY GOOD thing to do!
