Showcasing Nonprofit Excellence
The highly anticipated “Shark Tank” style nonprofit pitch competition is back!
NPO Desert Fast Pitch is a competition for the best “pitch.” The campaign kicks off with twelve nonprofit organizations who have made the cut, embarking together on a journey of professional development, camaraderie, and team building. At the Grand Finale on October 1, 2026, six finalists will take the stage with just three minutes to powerfully tell their stories, showcase their impact, and compete for critical funding – before a live audience of community stakeholders, funders, and business leaders.
We are honored to introduce this year’s 12 nonprofit leaders that are committed to addressing some of the community’s most pressing needs. They represent a diverse cross-section of nonprofits serving the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities.
