About The Event

Welcome to
Community Pitch

Community Pitch, a dynamic community networking event with a significant social impact.

We are pleased to announce that together, we gave away $64,850  to the 10 charitable organisations who bravely pitched at Community Pitch on September 12. 

Thank you to all those who made the event such a great success. 

Building on the tremendous success of our 2022 event, where over $56,000 was donated to ten outstanding community groups, Community Pitch has already demonstrated its ability to drive meaningful change.

Community Pitch serves as a platform for local businesses eager to give back to the community. It’s a chance to discover various projects initiated by Community Groups within your area. These groups are carefully selected from diverse sectors, ensuring a broad range of support is offered.

During the event, each Community Group has three minutes to pitch their project to a room filled with local businesses and community members, known as Pitch Partners, who have generously contributed to a funding pool. At the conclusion of the presentations, each Pitch Partner chooses which Community Group(s) they wish to support using their pledged funds.

We are delighted to share that the ‘pitch funding pool’  reached a total of $64,850 in 2023, Including a $30,000 donation from  Lindfield & District Community Bank.

Thank you to our 2023 Pitch Partners

Without the support of these generous and socially responsible businesses, Community Pitch would not be able to create the impact our community deserves. Thank you for your support.
