What would you do if someone gave you $5000 to come up with an idea on how to better the community?  How about if you were given $25,000 or $50,000 or even $250,000?  Well if you’re the type of person who has a great idea, then the people over at Pepsi are the ones you want to talk to.  Instead of spending millions of dollars on Super Bowl airtime, Pepsi has created The Pepsi Refresh Project.  The Pepsi Refresh Project is an initiative put forth by Pepsi telling people that if they have an idea that they feel will benefit the community in some way, to submit it, if it receives enough votes a grant will be awarded.  Visitors can vote up to 10 times per day and grants will be awarded every month (up to 32 grants each month)

Needless to say something like this is not inexpensive.  Pepsi is putting up $20 million in grants for the top finishers amongst the six categories (health, arts and culture, food and shelter, the planet, neighborhoods, and education).

So submit your ideas to Pepsi and vote for your favorites, you may be lucky enough to win and help change the world around you.
