How will you use SOUP grant funding ($600-900) towards the realization of your project?
Why does this project matter to the Detroit community?
What is the time frame for your project, and how could you share about its progress/completion at an upcoming SOUP?
*Thoughtful but brief responses are encouraged. Applicants must be present to pitch their project proposals during the meal. Proposals are due February 5th.*
It's been exciting getting to know folks starting other meal-based granting dinners in their own neighborhoods in and around Detroit. If you're getting your own dinner going and want to be connected to the soup support group that's ended up forming to share struggles and resources, shoot us an email at detroit.soup@gmail.com for more information.
