SUBMIT YOUR IDEA & WIN UP TO $700 TO MAKE IT HAPPEN

Ever wish you had a few hundred dollars to fund a good idea? The Grandmont Rosedale SOUP Committee (in partnership with Detroit SOUP) is currently accepting proposals to enter into a fundraising contest on July 21, 2013 at 19120 Grand River Ave.

Anything goes! Project ideas can range from beautification projects to spaying stray cats to enhancing your business! Proposals should include (1) contact information, (2) project name and summary, (3) why your project matters to the Grandmont Rosedale community, (4) how you will use SOUP funding (around $400-$700) towards the realization of your project and (5) what the time frame is for your project and how you could share its progress/completion at an upcoming SOUP event. Submit proposals by 7/14/13 by visiting detroitsoup.com/submit or dropping off a hard copy at Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation (19800 Grand River Ave). Up to four proposals will be selected and invited to present their ideas in the SOUP contest on July 21.
