The CTK Foundation is sponsoring the 2011 Heart and Soul Grant Award Program.  Nonprofits of all sizes and types in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand are encouraged to apply.

Here’s where it gets fun. Nonprofits are asked to submit an original four-to-eight-line poem that reflects their mission and work. Poems may be written by staff, clients and/or volunteers and must be entirely original in both content and creativity!

The winning nonprofit will receive $10,000 plus a professionally written and produced song, based on their mission, to be used for public education and awareness. This year, the song will be written and recorded by Bill Dillon and Produced by Jim Tullio of Butcher Boy Studios in Chicago, Illinois. Second place will receive $5,000 and the Bloggers Choice will be awarded $1,000. Additionally, twenty Technology Grants will be awarded.

To be eligible, organizations must be registered 501(c)3 nonprofits, charities or voluntary organizations. Applications will be accepted through March 28th and the winning poem will be selected by an international panel of independent artists and producers. Winners will be notified by April 10th and celebrated at the Heart and Soul Grant Award Gala on April 14th in Austin, Texas.
