Social Venture Partners in partnership with the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay is accepting applications for their 2021 Fast Pitch competition.
The Fast Pitch competition includes a business development program designed for nonprofits to grow towards long tern sustainability. All Fast Pitch classes are led by local experts with a focus on the core needs of area nonprofits. Area nonprofits will then “pitch” their nonprofit story to our community audience and judging panel for a chance at unrestricted grant funding.
If you are a 501C3 organizations with all filings current and up to date with the state of Florida you are eligible to participate.

We are excited to see how these companies shape the future.
