Fundraising Assets: Pitch, Budget, and Evidence Plan
Funders don’t fund ideas. They fund de-risked execution.
Produce funder-ready materials: pitch narrative, budget logic, and evidence plan that reduces perceived risk.
Core Teachings
Key concepts with source texts
A credible pitch answers: 1) Why this problem, why now? 2) Why you/your team? 3) Why this intervention (ToC + evidence)? 4) Why this model (economics + ops)? 5) How you’ll measure + manage impact? 6) What you need (capital) and what it unlocks?
Write 6-slide skeleton; then fill with proof: numbers, quotes, pilots with thresholds.
