Hi Teams. As you post, please keep your eyes open for opportunities to help take your project to the next level. We found a competition where you can take your action plans and use them as a part of an application for $5,000, but this is a small scale project.
Refresheverything.com is an open competition for anyone to enter for a chance to win up to $250,000 towards projects that improve the community.The competition cycles monthly where new opportunities are ableto be entered for funding and application takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete if you go for the $50,000. They require more detail for higher priced ideas.
To win the competition, visitors to the site need to vote for your project with the click of the button. You can combine your social networks on facebook and myspace to get the word out about your effort and drive your firends and families to the site to vote. Statistically, the site receives 9,200 visitors daily and averages 29,000 monthly, and each category has about 1,000 projects submitted. You might need 3,000 votes to be competitive to win the competition.
