Toledo SOUP Now Accepting Proposals

Posted: Friday, September 5, 2014 by: Toledo Soup | Category: Community Interest


Toledo SOUP, a crowd-funding opportunity for community members, is now accepting proposals for business ideas and projects.

Proposals can be submitted via the Toledo SOUP website at www.toledosoup.com, and will remain open until October 1, 2014. If selected, candidates will present their idea for 3-5 minutes at the next SOUP event, to be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, October 26th.

Area leaders, visionaries and community members will come together to fund local change at Toledo SOUP’s Fall event. The event will take place at 1717 Adams St. in downtown Toledo, at the future site of Handmade Toledo.

The attendance fee/donation is $5 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under. Each guest will receive one vote for their favorite community initiative, as well as a complimentary meal of soup, salad and bread from area chefs, including Chef Andrew Ruiz from the Toledo Museum of Art and Aaron Hensley from House Of Eats at Bier Stube.

Proposals should focus on ways to benefit the Toledo community, and candidates will be notified if their submission has been selected for presentation.
