Similar to the TV show Shark Tank, Gator Tank is a social-impact competition in a fast-pitch style created to aid local nonprofit organizations through training and provide opportunities to build capital from local investors to help expand their nonprofit organizations, according to a press release sent by the Paso Del Norte Community Foundation.
The community foundation says the three-month program preparation shares a unique fundraising model, bringing together nonprofit organizations, mentors, and funders to think creatively and strategically to win monetary prizes and expand their impact within our shared communities.
