People Pitch Is Back This Fall

People Pitch returns this fall with new opportunities to connect, collaborate, and invest in the organizations and leaders creating meaningful impact across Utah.

People Pitch brings together nonprofit leaders, community advocates, business professionals, donors, volunteers, and engaged community members to build partnerships and support initiatives that strengthen our communities.

We’re especially excited to introduce the People Pitch Reunion this September—a special gathering designed to celebrate the relationships, collaborations, and community impact that have grown through People Pitch over the years.

The Reunion Round

What Happened After the Pitch?

After 12 rounds and 33 nonprofit organizations taking the stage, we’re celebrating what comes next.

Keynote Speaker: Kristin Andrus, on "Why Giving Matters."

Join us for three high-impact educational tracks tailored for leaders: Marketing & Storytelling, Legal, and Philanthropy & Funding.

Amplify your master brand identity with insights from Jeff Durham (Gimme Beauty) and Jen Hunsaker (WLI). Stay ahead of giving trends with guidance from Mallory Santa Cruz (JP Morgan) and Julie Ramos (Miller Family Foundation). Gain actionable strategies for optimizing tax structures and legal compliance with Shawn Finnegan (Tax Hive & XRoom).

Whether you’d like to support Utah Advocacy Coalition or explore sponsorship opportunities through People Pitch, we’d love to connect.

Advocacy in Motion

A movement and event where solutions, stories, and shared investment meet.

People Pitch is advocacy in motion—sometimes formal, sometimes organic—where relationships, shared investment, and long-term champions are formed.

Is where community leaders and nonprofits present real-world solutions. It’s more than a presentation; it’s a collaborative engine for a more connected Utah.

At its core, People Pitch is about building bridges. It creates space for nonprofit leaders, advocates, business professionals, donors, and community members to come together around a shared purpose: strengthening Utah through connection, collaboration, and action.
