If you're needing funding for a good idea I'm a board advisor on the Pepsi Refresh project.

This is (in my opinion) a fantastic new community giving project called "Refresh Everything". Pepsi are giving away 1.2 million dollars a year to Individuals, businesses and not-for-profits who have an idea to make a difference but need funding to make it happen.

Every 2 months they award 200K in grants. Individuals, business and not-for-profits upload their idea at www.refresheverything.ca and then get people to vote for them.

If they win, they are given the grant as well as support (if needed) to get their idea off the ground... check out the details at www.refresheverything.ca.

So many large corporates focus their giving efforts on one or two BIG NGOs. I love this project because it inspires everyone to do good, no matter who you are.
