Speed Dating for Nonprofits

Today a philanthropy organization in Houston hosted an event that positively portrayed 7 nonprofit organizations in a time efficient manner.  The host venue was prominently profiled and the intro speaker highlighted another distinctive institution.  Then 5 distinctive but connected, collaborative nonprofits were each given 20 minute forums to share their story for 8 foundation and corporate funding representatives.  Just like speed dating, as the buzzer sounded, each group of 8 funders rotated to the next nonprofit.

Though every nonprofit would love to host site visits for funders, this was a fabulous introduction for many potential funders who might not have otherwise been exposed to the vision, mission and successes of these organizations.
