Make It Your Own

[Christine Fanning]

The Case Foundation announced the Top 20 finalists today for its Make It Your Own Awards, an innovative grant program, launched in June of 2007, that calls on people to join together to create innovative ideas and solutions that can lay the groundwork for long-term social change in their communities. The Case Foundation is now inviting everyone to come online and vote for the top four awardees. These four will be provided an additional $25,000 grant each to realize their dreams and implement their project.
