The CTK Foundation provides software to nonprofits or charities in emerging or economically challenged nations through the International Nonprofit Technology Initiative – a pilot project of the CTK Foundation and Small World Labs.  

The CTK Foundation is proud to announce the 2011 Heart and Soul Grant Award Program. Nonprofits of all sizes and types are invited to apply their creativity to win major grants of funds and technology (see below for full award details).

Nonprofits are asked to submit an original four-to-eight-line poem that reflects their mission and work. Poems may be written by staff, clients and/or volunteers and must be entirely original (in both content and creativity!). The winning poem, to be selected by an international panel of independent artists and producers, will be the inspiration for a song by Bill Dillon, a recording artist who was exonerated through the work of Innocence Project of Florida and went on to achieve his dreams.

Applications are no longer being accepted. Winners will be notified by April 10th and celebrated at the Heart and Soul Grant Award Gala on April 14th in Austin, Texas. Questions? Email inquiries@ctkfoundation.org. No phone calls accepted.

The winning nonprofit will receive a check for $10,000 United States Dollars or the equivalent amount in Canadian Dollars, Great Britain Pounds Sterling or Euros.

This year, the song will be written and recorded by Bill Dillon and Produced by Jim Tullio of Butcher Boy Studios in Chicago, Illinois.
