Nonprofits spend years working on inspiring issues in hopes of changing the world. Here’s your chance to use your inspiration and write a poem that reflects your nonprofits mission and work. The first place winner will receive $10,000 and will have their submission turned into a song to be used in public education or awareness. The song will be written and recorded by songwriter Bill Dillon — who was recently exonerated after 27 years in prison thanks to Innocence Project of Florida — and produced by Jim Tullio of Butcher Boy Studios. The contest is open to all nonprofits in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Winners prizes can also win:
- The 2011 Bloggers Choice Award, where a blogger writing about the H&S Grant Award Program will choose a nonprofit applicant to receive a $1,000 cash grant.
- 2 steel-stringed guitars, signed by all members of Los Lonely Boys (which you can auction for fund-raising)
- Up to 20 technology grants, valued at $10,000, to nonprofits.
Applications are due by midnight on March 28th. Winners will be notified on April 10th. Visit communitytech.net/foundation to apply.
