Idea Cafe's Biz Grants

Contribute to Help Small Businesses! Here's How:

As a small biz ourselves, Idea Cafe has limited resources. So if you can help fatten Idea Cafe's new Small Business Grant Fund by donating money, services or products, Idea Cafe and the grantees will be eternally grateful.

In addition to the great feeling you'll get for helping someone in small business succeed, you'll bask in the glow of acknowledgement that you or your business will receive on Idea Cafe. Plus, you just might have some fun!

If you want the opportunity to "give back" -- here's your chance!
Can you share a few hours of your biz consulting wisdom, or brighten somebody's day with one of your super products (free)? Or can you share a little of your profit to help a new business get off the ground? What about donating a few copies of your favorite music CD to soothe or jazz up an entrepreneur's biz all-nighter? To see what others have contributed, click here.

If you're with a large corporation, see if you could use your influence to get your company to reach into its deep pockets and chip in to help small business. Whoever you are, whatever your business or status, get your heart in gear and join in. Think about what you'd like to contribute and email granthost@ideacafe.com. -- Thanks!!

Acknowledgements
All donors will be acknowledged on Idea Cafe's website (unless you ask to remain anonymous). If you'd like us to feature a hotlink to your company's website, we'll gladly do so.

How contributions will be allocated
Allocation of the contributions (i.e. which contributions go toward which grants) will be at the discretion of Idea Cafe. If you have special requests, we'll do our best to accommodate them, but, except for endowments, we can't guarantee to meet all requests for specific allocations.

Endowments carry special privileges
If you or your company wish to endow a specific grant to carry a name you designate or go to a certain type of entrepreneur or venture, the minimum endowment is $2000.00 US

Delivery details
If you agree to contribute services or products, it will be your responsibility to deliver those to Idea Cafe or the grantee. We'll clarify which in advance.

Grant administration
At this time, 100% of all contributions received for Idea Cafe's Small Business Grants flow through to the grant winners. However if, in the future, handling this grant program becomes too overwhelming to handle with our current staff, Idea Cafe reserves the right to use a small portion of the contributions to help deal with administration of these grants if necessary.

Contribute! You'll be glad you did!
Please think about what you or your company can contribute.
You can email your ideas for donations to granthost@ideacafe.com.

You can donate right now via PayPal!

If you'd like to chip in and help us help other entrepreneurs, you can make a cash contribution to Idea Cafe's Biz Grant Fund by setting up (or using your current) PayPal account.

If you already have a PayPal account, simply click on the PayPal icon below and use the "Log in" button near the top of the page to make your contribution.

What is PayPal?

If you don't know what PayPal is or why it's cool to set up an account with them, then here's the scoop! It's an online payment system that lets you buy items from online auctions and retailers, to name a few! Plus, you can earn rewards by building up PayPal points. You can also set up an account in PayPal to receive payment from other folks....just like we did to expand the grant program for nice folks like you!

How to do it

To set up a PayPal account and make a cash contribution to us, click on the icon below. That will bring up a form with Idea Cafe already conveniently inserted.

First, fill in the "Item" line with the word, "Cash" then type in the cash amount you'd like to contribute in the "Item Price" box. (Whatever amount you give is greatly appreciated.)

Next, continue to fill in the "Credit Card Information" and scroll down to the "Choose a Password" section and enter your email address; choose a password; and select security questions.

Once you have completed ALL of the lines on this page, click on the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page for final payment confirmation.

Please note: If you forget to fill in a line on this page and you push the "Continue" button, the page will reappear with the missing line titles highlighted in red. This means you need to fill in the lines before continuing. If you push "Continue" and get your completed application info back, just look for any red-highlighted areas in the "Password" section. Before PayPal makes the payment final, it wants you to re-enter your passwords. Once you type in your passwords, then you'll get a final payment confirmation notice. To let you know your payment to us was complete, you'll receive an email receipt stating so.

Thank You!
