Please send me a text...Sacramento Venture Philanthropy’s Fast Pitch is back for its 11th year—and it’s going to be bigger than ever.I’m joined by SVP Chief Operating Officer Drew Hayes to reveal the 16 nonprofits selected for the 2026 Fast Pitch cohort and take a closer look at what happens before anyone ever steps onto the stage. From nearly 100 applicants to intensive coaching, workshops and pitch development, Fast Pitch is designed to help nonprofit leaders sharpen their stories, communicate their impact and build skills they can use long after the event is over.We also talk about the move to the Crest Theatre, the funding opportunities available to the entire cohort, and why November 9th promises to be another remarkable night for Sacramento’s nonprofit community.To learn more or for tickets to this year's event: https://www.svpsacramento.org/events/svp-fast-pitch-2026Thank you so much for listening to this nonprofit story!  We appreciate you.
