It\u2019s tough raising nickels and dimes
\nIn even the most prosperous times
\nOne new course of action
\nThat might get some traction
\nIs pitching nonprofits in rhymes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Heart<\/a>OK, so I didn\u2019t miss my calling as a poet. But if you\u2019re a nonprofit organization in the U.S., U.K. or Canada, and if you can tell your story poetically, you can win up to $10,000 from the CTK Foundation\u2019s Heart and Soul Grant Competition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You only have four weeks to compose your masterpiece, but that\u2019s enough time for a four- to eight-line poem, right? Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

Submit an original poem that reflects the work and\/or mission of your nonprofit organization. Just about anyone can write it, but it\u2019s got to be original. They\u2019re Googling to be sure. You have until March 28.<\/p>\n

Winners will be selected by an international panel of independent artists and producers. In addition to getting a briefcase full of money, you\u2019ll be invited to a gala evening event on April 14th in Austin, Texas. I recommend you put the money in the bank before heading to the event.<\/p>\n
