Through my blogging, I'm meeting various people who really want to make a difference in others. Whether they are performing good deeds strictly from a non-profit status or have a vision from their current business, helping others is so rewarding. Markham Vineyards has this terrific philanthropic
program called Mark of Distinction.
Markham Vineyards, the Napa Valley winery known for its community involvement, recently announced its call for applicants to the third-annual Mark of Distinction program. This program was started in 2008 to motivate individuals to make a positive impact in their community. It rewards two winners with $25,000 grants each to help them make a lasting change – or “Mark of Distinction” in their communities.
To enter, go to the “Nominations” page on www.MarkhamMarkofDistinction.com anytime before July 19th and submit a proposal of no more than 300 words that describes the initiative and inspiration along with a brief budget that details how the project funds will be used.
On August 10th, 10 finalists will be chosen and featured on the Mark of Distinction website, where the public can vote for their favorite two projects, who will each receive $25,000 grants to turn their passion into a reality.
For more inspiration, check out the stories of winners from previous years by visiting www.MarkhamMarkofDistinction.com and clicking “Making Their Mark.”
What a great opportunity to do something wonderful for your community!
