This funding opportunity  not only gets the youth's
idea or project funded with $10,000, but may get
$100,000 donated to the Nonprofit of the youth's
choice.  If someone could pass this along to the
students' list(s), that'd be a good thing.  Thanks.

Strive On!

Young Community Volunteers Invited to Apply for Do
Something
Awards

Deadline: March 1, 2009

The Do Something Awards, formerly the Brick Awards, are
designed
to provide recognition and funding for young community
volunteers.

Do Something Award Winners receive a community grant,
participation in a special award ceremony, media
coverage, and
continued support from Do Something (
http://www.dosomething.org/).

In the 2009 program, five winners will receive a
minimum of
$10,000 in community grants and scholarships. (Only
winners 18
and under are eligible for a scholarship of $5,000 and
a $5,000
community grant; winners between the ages of 19 and 25
will
receive their entire award in the form of a community
grant.) Of
the five winners, one will be selected as the
grand-prize winner
and will receive a total of $100,000 in community
grants, paid
directly to the nonprofit of his or her choice.

Do Something Award applications go through two stages.
First,
the Do Something Award Academy (comprised of former
winners)
reads through all the applications and selects the
finalists.
Finalists are then flown to New York City for
interviews with
representatives from the Do Something Award Selection
Committee.

The five Do Something Award winners will be announced
in the
spring of 2009. The grand-prize winner will be
announced in the
summer of 2009.

Visit the Do Something Web site for complete program
guidelines.
