Pepsi Initiative Hopes to Refresh
That’s right, you read it all correctly. The title is as just as blatant, shocking and exciting as the latest efforts of Pepsi to inspire individuals to create, contribute and add to the world we live in. For the past few weeks now, a series of commercials have circulated on television about the Pepsi refresh project, and after checking out the website, thought it might be a great idea to let you all know just what this is about.
Free money. No kidding.
Pepsi is handing out grants in the amounts of $5,000 all the way to $250,000 to individuals and organizations looking to get things going, develop and forward their ideas. Each person, or organization must fill out an application with specific details of their ‘idea,’ along with an itemized budget and you are all set! There are deadlines you must adhere to, and shortly thereafter a voting period starts to choose winning submissions.
What is more interesting about this process is that you…well, us…the public, we vote and ultimately choose the winners! Wait. They did say the same thing about American Idol didn’t they…hm, either way, what’s the harm in trying! Ideas range from documentaries, to starting performing arts charter schools. So, you should NOT be afraid of your passion. Give it a try. The worst they can do is say no, right?
