$2,500 for Your Charity

By voting in the Make It Your Own AwardsTM, you're taking an active role in helping people bring their ideas for their communities to life. And because we want to spread the spirit of giving and reward the people that took the time to support these great community projects, we're giving a $2,500 Good Card to the first 10 people to correctly pick the Final Four grantees. The money can be used to make donations to any U.S.-based charity.

So submit your vote now. In addition to supporting four very special community initiatives, you might have the opportunity to help the cause you care about most!
