There are two weeks left before submissions are due for SPARK TANK – An annual Faith-Rooted Social Business Plan Contest sponsored by The Center for Community Transformation.
The purpose of the Spark Tank is to stimulate the start-up of social enterprises strategically connected to churches or Community Benefit Organizations.
A total of $25,000 will be awarded on Friday, September 25 as individual entrepreneurs, churches and non-profits pitch their business plan to a panel of experts. The event will take place at 2:00pm at the BC Lounge on the Seminary Campus. Guests are welcome to attend the event to learn about social enterprise and see entrepreneurship in action.
MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO SHOULD SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
If you know either individual entrepreneurs or institutions who might like to pitch an idea, please download the business plan contest template and share it. They could win up to $3000 in start-up money, and perhaps even more if they “wow” the judges. Submissions that make the first cut on Sept 1 will be invited to pitch their idea on September 25th.
If you would like to be a part of the audience, register to attend through the link below.
Space is limited.
