Do you think you’ve got a good idea for Charity? Do you have something in mind that has potential that you would like to get in front of somebody with money. What if it wasn’t even one person or company that judged you, but an honest assesment from an audience?
I came across this site yesterday and wanted to share this with you. Before we go much further this is only open to the US and to implement for the benfit of US citizens. I’m mentioning this to our audience that the idea can be copied and used in other countries.
The Pepsi Refresh Project takes 1,000 submissions for charitable projects a month from individuals, organizations and businesses. They award 32 prizes a month ranging from 5k to 250k. No matter what your idea targets, The Pepsi Refresh Project has a category that it can be submitted to ; Health, Arts and Culture, Food and Shelter, The Planet, Neighborhoods and Education.
The idea is put up on their website and once their audience registers they can have 10 chances a day to vote for the best idea. Ideas like this level the playing field. You can get noticed and get funded all you need is a solid idea.
The Pepsi Refresh Project even has a blog that keeps you up to date on good ideas and funded ideas that are coming to fruition.
I gotta say this is a great way for a business to become socially responsible and step up to the plate.
Nicely done Pesi.
