Grant Tank

RevComm Foundation held its inaugural Grant Tank in April of 2023, due to the tremendous support and success of the event it was a no brainer to convert the special event into our flagship grant funding method.

Join local philanthropic investors, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and passionate community changemakers for Grant Tank event presented by RevComm Foundation. During this fun and unconventional spin on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank, RevComm Foundation will invite local nonprofit organizations to pitch their mission and vision to an audience and most importantly an assembly of generous philanthropic “Sharks”. This interactive event will give nonprofit organizations a chance to secure the funding needed to further their mission.

Founders Crystal and Daniel along with the dedicated Board of Directors will provide you with an introduction of what RevComm Foundation is doing to level the playing field for nonprofit organizations. Come prepared to hear about the great work that is being done in and around your community. Enjoy an evening filled with dinner, beverages, and great conversation amongst fellow philanthropists. Most importantly of all, as an attendee of RevComm Foundation’s inaugural Grant Tank event, both attendees and sharks will have the opportunity to support and fund 6 selected nonprofit organizations through an exciting “fast pitch” event.
