Social Venture Partners Charlotte is thrilled to announce the return of SEED20 OnStage!

SEED20 OnStage is a celebration of 10 innovative nonprofits in our area who were selected to participate in two months of training, coaching, feedback, and mentoring on how to succinctly and powerfully tell their organization’s story. The culmination of their efforts will be a high-energy event where the nonprofits will compete to win cash awards by making three-minute pitches to a community audience – hopefully including you!

SEED20 Onstage is also an opportunity for audience members to interact and connect with the nonprofit participants to learn more about their mission and opportunities for support and engagement. It’s also an opportunity for all ticket holders, whether attending in person or watching via the Livestream, to vote for the participants to win cash awards the night of the event.

We have been innovating our program over the past two years and the refreshed SEED20 OnStage evening will include:

6:30 PM | Doors open for mingling in the lobby. We ask that all attendees take their seats by 6:55 PM.
7:00 PM | The stage portion of the evening will feature ten nonprofit pitches, an audience text-to-vote to select the top prize winner, a presentation of cash and in-kind awards, and the opportunity to donate directly to those participants who inspired you.
8:30 PM | After the show, in the lobby, while snacking on sweet and savory treats and drinking a celebratory glass of wine, beer or soda, audience members can interact and connect with the stars of the night–the nonprofit presenters–to learn more about their initiatives and opportunities for further support and engagement.

There is nothing like being there in person for SEED20 OnStage.
