Community groups often have a strong project and a weak pitch: the story is long, the numbers are scattered and the ask is buried. This deck keeps the argument in the order a panel scores it: who you are, what you will do, who benefits, what it costs, what you are asking for and how you will report back.

The sample follows Zephyrine Works asking a local community fund for £48,000 towards a £62,000 repair workshop, with £14,000 of match funding, 620 residents reached over 24 months and a cost of £100 per resident. Replace the group, project, figures, targets and contacts with your own, and keep the budget adding up.
