Testimonials

Zoë Caplen-Black

CEO, Happy Paws Happy Hearts

We had an opportunity to scale and expand which involved delivering a pitch and supplying a written application. I thought back to what I’d learned at TFN’s workshops, and we ended up being successful!

Chris Lombardo

CEO, Bridge Darebin

The experience with TFN was priceless. Not just for the organisation as a whole and the funding that came from the event but also the personal development through the pitch coaching. I've used the knowledge from the pitch practice continuously when presenting the organisation to funders, donors and at forums. It’s helped me be more confident in communicating our message to the public.

Loretta Lilford

Co-Founder, Smiling Hearts Uganda

I was extremely grateful for the amazing support and coaching we were provided. Pitch coaching taught me to believe in my ability and allowed me to present proudly and confidently.

Nick Harrington

Founding Director, Manjeri

TFN's pitch coaching has had an immense impact across all our communications, pitching at other events and simply talking to potential supporters over coffee. The tips on clarifying and delivering a succinct, focused narrative have directly contributed to our capacity to obtain additional funding.
