Frequently Asked Questions
about Fast Pitch

A “fast pitch” is a high-energy, quick-fire presentation where nonprofit leaders share their organization’s mission, vision, promise, and model – all in under three minutes! Presenters must be succinct, compelling, polished, and passionate. The audience and key sponsors will be awarded unlimited cash grants and prizes at the Fast Pitch main event.

While we still believe in the great work of our entire nonprofit community, we have shifted our focus to directly support the organizations poised to make the most significant impact in Southern Arizona. The application period will be open from July 31st-September 15th, 2023.

Fast Pitch is a community event that will stir your soul! Eight nonprofit leaders share their ‘fast pitch’ stories, take their shot at $100,000, and gain donations from a global audience of social change makers.

The Main Event will be on Tuesday, March 26th, 2024, at 7 p.m. at the Fox Theatre in Downtown Tucson. Be sure to join our mailing list or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn. Learn more about the Main Event.
