What You Get (applications now closed)

We know we don't have enough money to support all of the great ideas submitted. That's why we're acknowledging everyone as a winner. So give us your idea and we'll give you the following:

Everyone who submits a completed application will get:

  • An innovative technology tool that can help you share your idea with others and raise money online
  • An issue of GOOD Magazine (www.goodmagazine.com), the hip and edgy new publication for people who want to make a difference, compliments of the Case Foundation and GOOD (The first 1,000 applicants will receive a 12-month subscription to the magazine).

The top 100 individuals who are invited to submit full proposals, and who submit their proposals according to Case Foundation guidelines, will get everything listed above, plus:

The 20 individuals chosen as finalists get everything listed above, plus:
  • A $10,000 grant to help make your idea a reality
  • An opportunity to meet in person with other finalists, share ideas, and learn new skills to help implement your project
  • One year of access to a Case Foundation Social Investment Manager, an enthusiastic partner available to help you achieve your project goals

The Final Four individuals that voters choose online get everything listed above, plus:

  • A grant of $25,000 to help make your idea a reality -- for a grand total of $35,100

Note:
Grant funds at the $10,000 and $25,000 levels are to be used to implement the idea outlined in the application and full proposal. This is not a prize for good works already done, but fuel to help move a great idea forward. Grant funds will be paid out over the course of one year in a schedule to be determined by the Case Foundation. Grant recipients at these levels must also submit reports to the Case Foundation during the project year -- content and timeline will be decided before award distribution.

The Foundation will award $100 to the top 100 applicants in exchange for permission to use and publish each applicant's application content. The purpose of the $100 is to help jump-start a worthy idea. No reports or grant requirements will be mandated to receive the $100.

We're excited about giving everyone online fundraising and networking tools but we do reserve the right to disqualify anyone from receiving these tools, or any of the above resources, if applications are incomplete or contain inappropriate content.
