Congratulations. One Wish Grants is excited to invite you to
- 00:04 - 00:06
present your project before the one wish grant selection.
- 00:06 - 00:10
Panel presentations are the last step in the application process.
- 00:11 - 00:14
The selection panel is the diverse body comprised of Chalk
- 00:14 - 00:18
Leadership Foundation board members and other key internal and external
- 00:19 - 00:21
experts that vote to determine funding decisions.
- 00:22 - 00:25
Please follow along with this video to review our general
- 00:25 - 00:29
guidelines for presentations and our recommendations to help you tell
- 00:29 - 00:30
your story.
- 00:33 - 00:33
What to prepare.
- 00:34 - 00:37
There are two parts to your presentation, the verbal pitch
- 00:38 - 00:39
and the visual PowerPoint deck.
- 00:40 - 00:42
We will outline both components in the coming slides.
- 00:43 - 00:46
The first component is your verbal pitch that is no
- 00:46 - 00:47
longer than three minutes.
- 00:48 - 00:50
The second component is your Power point presentation.
- 00:52 - 00:54
Please use the one wished grants PowerPoint template that was
- 00:54 - 00:55
provided to you.
- 00:56 - 00:59
We recommend preparing 3 to 5 slides using imagery and
- 00:59 - 01:03
keywords. Timing.
- 01:04 - 01:06
Please note that you have three minutes for your presentation,
- 01:07 - 01:10
followed by a three minute question and answer period from
- 01:10 - 01:10
the panel.
- 01:11 - 01:14
Presentations will run quickly and we will run on time.
- 01:15 - 01:17
It is a tight time frame, and we highly recommend
- 01:17 - 01:19
practicing with a script and a timer to become comfortable
- 01:20 - 01:21
with a brief pitch window.
- 01:25 - 01:29
Recommendations. We recommend that you developed a script or outline
- 01:29 - 01:33
for your verbal pitch practice and tying yourself to ensure
- 01:33 - 01:35
you stay within the three minute time frame.
- 01:35 - 01:38
We encourage practicing your presentation in front of people to
- 01:39 - 01:43
obtain feedback, keep side simple and use visuals used as
- 01:43 - 01:45
few medical terms as possible.
- 01:46 - 01:48
The selection panel comprises of both medical experts and non
- 01:49 - 01:49
clinical professionals.
- 01:50 - 01:53
Simplify medical terms and jargon so that your message is
- 01:54 - 01:57
easily understood by all members of your audience and, lastly,
- 01:58 - 02:00
forecast potential questions that may be asked of you by
- 02:01 - 02:01
the selection panel.
- 02:08 - 02:11
How to pitch your project in three minutes.
- 02:12 - 02:15
The pitch presentation tells us what your project is about,
- 02:15 - 02:18
why it is important and how it benefits the chalk
- 02:19 - 02:21
community. Compelling presentations are concise.
- 02:22 - 02:24
Tell a story and our visual.
- 02:25 - 02:27
We recommend the following speaking points to help you develop
- 02:28 - 02:28
your verbal pitch.
- 02:29 - 02:32
Please note each speaking point does not equate to a
- 02:32 - 02:35
PowerPoint slide and instead references the flow of your pitch
- 02:36 - 02:39
aimed to answer each section in 10 to 30 seconds.
- 02:40 - 02:41
This should add up to three minutes.
- 02:46 - 02:47
Begin your pitch with a simple introduction.
- 02:49 - 02:52
Introduce yourself what department you're with and your project name,
- 02:53 - 02:55
followed by a catchy tagline to capture the interest of
- 02:55 - 02:55
the audience.
- 02:57 - 02:59
The tagline is a quick one liner summary or bold
- 02:59 - 03:00
statement about your project.
- 03:01 - 03:10
Keep it short and memorable continued by describing what problem
- 03:10 - 03:13
you're trying to solve and who you are solving the
- 03:13 - 03:13
problem for.
- 03:15 - 03:18
Tell a relevant story that evokes emotion and helps the
- 03:18 - 03:19
selection panel understand the issue.
- 03:20 - 03:23
For instance, share a story about a patient who is
- 03:23 - 03:25
affected by the problem you're trying to solve.
- 03:26 - 03:29
Provide relevant figures and statistics that demonstrate it is a
- 03:30 - 03:32
pressing problem that is important to the chalk community and
- 03:33 - 03:35
that there is urgency behind the need for your project.
- 03:41 - 03:45
Next, describe your solution to the problem and explain clearly
- 03:45 - 03:46
how your project will work.
- 03:47 - 03:49
Simplify your project into three steps.
- 03:50 - 03:51
You do not have to cover everything.
- 03:52 - 03:55
Just give your audience an idea of the main mechanics
- 03:55 - 03:56
of what you will dio.
- 03:57 - 04:02
Use visuals to demonstrate what your projects, product research or
- 04:02 - 04:03
service will look like.
- 04:04 - 04:07
Highlight why your project is unique and why your solution
- 04:07 - 04:07
is the best.
- 04:13 - 04:16
The panel wants to know who your project will help
- 04:16 - 04:18
and how many people will be positively impacted.
- 04:20 - 04:22
Be realistic and clear when describing the scope of your
- 04:23 - 04:25
project. What are the greater outcomes of your project?
- 04:27 - 04:29
Think about how this project contributes to talk as a
- 04:29 - 04:34
whole, considering a broad macro view will help Panelists understand
- 04:34 - 04:35
the full potential of your project.
- 04:42 - 04:45
To conclude your verbal pitch, let the Panelists know what
- 04:46 - 04:46
the next steps are.
- 04:47 - 04:50
Be clear about the amount you're requesting and the milestones
- 04:51 - 04:52
you expect to achieve with it.
- 04:53 - 04:55
If you started your pitch with a story about a
- 04:55 - 04:58
patient, use this opportunity to circle back to it by
- 04:59 - 05:02
referencing the outcome and how this project could benefit the
