With
a total community action fund of $100,000, Tom's of Maine's "50 States
for Good" initiative is celebrating and rewarding nonprofits from
across the country whose efforts are focused on lasting, positive
change in the community. Tom's of Maine is hoping to inspire
participation from nonprofits of all sizes and is excited to hear about
the community projects that matter most to them. 501(c)(3)
organizations from across the country are encouraged to apply for
funding and invite their members/constituents to participate in the
process. Finalists will be selected by a judging panel based on
immediate achievability, positive impact in the community, and
engagement and mobilization among members of the community. After
finalists are selected, online voting by the public will determine
which five organizations will receive $20,000 each. The deadline is
August 30, 2009.
