Fans can submit ideas to help people, animals or the planet via Twitter or the company website. To be eligible, submissions must include #WorldsShortestGrant and tag @So_Delicious. Each week, a committee at So Delicious Dairy Free will select multiple winners to receive micro-grants ranging from $140 to $10,000 to cover the cost of their project.
“We believe small ideas can have a big impact. In 140 characters or less – the length of a Tweet – we want our fans to share their creative ideas to help improve the well-being of people, animals and the environment,” said Brittany Horn, advocacy marketing manager for So Delicious Dairy Free. “We’re thrilled the #WorldsShortestGrant returns with more funding and opens the campaign to more causes.”
Last year, So Delicious Dairy Free awarded a total of $30,000 to 34 individuals and nonprofits to fund planet-friendly projects ranging from community gardens to animal rescues.
This year, the company will reward inspiring ideas, both large and small, from individuals, social entrepreneurs or organizations. As an environmentally and socially conscious company, they are looking for ideas that can make a big impact in areas of plant-based foods, animal welfare, custom eaters with dietary restrictions and environmental conservation and sustainability.
The campaign kicks off Thursday, April 21, 2016 just in time for Earth Day and will run through Tuesday, May 31st.
