GrantFinder Weekly Pick
Deadline: August 17, 2009
Nau, a Portland, Oregon-based sustainable apparel company, is launching an annual Grant for Change program to recognize individuals or groups working to bring positive change to their communities. The program seeks to recognize and support everyday people — whether artists, athletes, or activists — who are giving back to the community. The company invites individuals to submit their stories or nominate others at the Nau Web site. Voting will be open to the public online from July 7 through August 31, when ten finalists will be selected to provide additional information and present their ideas to the Grant for Change leadership panel. The panel will select one final grantee, who will be awarded $10,000 to help further his or her cause. Nau also will support the grantee's efforts for one year by hosting content and providing progress to readers on the company Web site.
This beta version of GrantFinder is still under construction. Please check back regularly as content becomes comprehensive.
