Welcome to the Pitch Your Idea section of the Dartington website. As you know, ideas are at the heart of Dartington’s work. Before you submit your idea, take time to use this website to get a good feel about what we do. Our current work is in the Arts, Sustainability and Social Justice. We are primarily looking at ideas that complement what we do now but will of course look at opportunities to expand into new areas.
Whatever your idea, the first stage is to submit to us your pitch. Keep it concise and crisp. We’ll be looking at it fresh and we want to see the idea jump off the page, inspire us and be easily understood. Often the best ideas are easy to quickly put down on paper. The pitch process is in 5 easy stages – listed below.
Following the submission of your pitch, we will respond within a week to confirm it has been received. The idea will then be assessed by myself and colleagues at Dartington. We will get back to you within a month of your submission to either say no or to invite you to an initial meeting to discuss the idea further.
So go for it! We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Matt Griffiths
Development Director
