Mama Knows Best

As I stroll through the streets of my community, I am always dreaming up ideas of ways to help bring our community back to life. Every day shops are closing down, people are losing their homes, schools are consolidating and to be quite honest, our community is beginning to look like a ghost town. Growing up in this community, it breaks my heart to see so many struggling. Due to the lack of funding I am not able to fulfill my dreams of rebuilding my community, but for people with dreams like mine, Pepsi is making it possible.

Beginning February 1st, individuals, companies and non profits can submit ideas for making a positive impact in their community for a chance to be awarded a grant by the Pepsi Refresh Project. Up to 1,000 projects will be accepted each month and consumers will vote for the projects they think should be funded. Up to 32 grants will be awarded in amounts ranging from $5,000-$250,000 each month!

Ideas can be submitted in one of six categories such as neighborhoods, health, education and arts. Any US Citizen 13 years of age and older is eligible to submit an application. Let the ideas flow and submit them today! Don’t forget to follow Pepsi on Twitter and become a Fan on Facebook to make sure you stay up to date on important updates and announcements!
