We would like to start microgranting dinner, called Vancouver SOUP, celebrating and supporting creative (or maybe community-building?) projects in Vancouver. Our project will be modeled after the successful Detroit SOUP where, for a donation of $5, attendees get soup, salad and bread, and a vote and hear four presentations ranging from art, urban agriculture, social justice, social entrepreneurs, education, technology and more. Each presenter has four minutes to share her idea and answer four questions from the audience. At the event, attendees eat, talk, share resources, and vote on the project they think benefits the city the most. At the end of the night, they count the ballots and the winner goes home with all of the money raised to carry out his project.
In Vancouver, where too many of us feel disconnected from our neighbours, wouldn’t it be great to sit down to a meal together and have a topic all laid out to start a chat?… Which project are you thinking about voting for? Why?
We will use the money from the Awesome Shit Club to rent space for the dinner and to pay for PR and advertizing so people know to come, donate, eat, and vote.
