The Pepsi Refresh Project will award more than $20 million in 2010 to move communities forward.

Individuals and organizations can apply for grants to benefit a variety of projects and site visitors vote for the best ideas for funding.  Pepsi will fund projects that make a difference in six categories: Health, Arts & Culture, Food & Shelter, The Planet, Neighborhoods, and Education.

Simply submit an idea (tip: as close to the first of the month as possible) and get your supporters to vote and vote and vote — the projects with the highest number of votes each month win the grant. Grants are accepted for $5,000, $25,000, $50,000 or $250,000.

There’s a new grant cycle every month.
