Pow Wow Pitch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs, is pleased to continue its partnership with Sklar Wilton in 2026. Building on five years of collaboration, the partnership remains focused on strengthening organizational strategy, leadership, and long term sustainability.
Since the partnership began in 2021, Sklar Wilton has played an integral role in Pow Wow Pitch’s growth. This includes contributing to the Indigenous Startup Program, recognizing Indigenous excellence through the Indigenous Entrepreneur Awards, and co-developing Pow Wow Pitch’s five year strategic plan, which continues to guide the organization’s direction.
In 2026, Sklar Wilton continues to support Pow Wow Pitch as the organization moves further into the implementation phase of its strategic plan. With the framework now established, the partnership is focused on translating long-term goals into action across programming, partnerships, and organizational development.
“We are grateful for the ongoing collaboration with Sklar Wilton as we continue to put our long term strategy into practice,” said Naomi Sarazin, Executive Director of Pow Wow Pitch. “Their partnership has supported us in building clarity, structure, and momentum as we grow as an organization.”
Beyond strategic planning, Sklar Wilton continues to engage directly with Pow Wow Pitch programming. As a collaborating partner of the Pow Wow Pitch Finalist Bootcamp, their team works directly with finalists, sharing knowledge and insight to support them in their final pitch to help strengthen their pitches and build readiness and confidence for the Grand Finale.
“Our work with Pow Wow Pitch has always been about walking alongside the organization as it grows and evolves,” said Jennifer Marley, Partner at Sklar Wilton. “Entering 2026, we are proud to continue this partnership and to remain engaged as Pow Wow Pitch moves forward with intention, leadership, and a clear long term vision.”
Together, Pow Wow Pitch and Sklar Wilton continue a partnership rooted in collaboration, shared learning, and long term commitment to Indigenous entrepreneurship.
