CTK recognizes that the heart and soul of every nonprofit organization is the passion and commitment of its members (staff, volunteers, clients/patrons, board, other stakeholders) to make a difference. CTK's Heart and Soul grant supports the mission of non profits and honors the front line folks who quietly make that difference for their organizations.

How to Apply:
Submit a 4-8 line poem expressing the heart (& soul) of your nonprofit organization's service mission through CTK's website.The application process is easy. The most difficult part is likely to be creating that 4-8 line poem. Get your pens ready, sit back and close your eyes, and visualize the heart and soul of your favorite nonprofit. How does it fulfill its service mission? What does that look like, in words? Can you feel it developing a rhythm? Maybe if you put it to a simple tune, it'll be easier to write.
Good luck, my friends.
