Communities across the United States answered the call from State Farm to submit causes that would make a positive impact in their neighborhoods.
Now these projects need your help by voting for them to bring money to their communities. From Wednesday through Aug. 27, U.S. residents who are 18 and older with a valid email address can vote for their favorite cause at www.neighborhoodassist.com to help bring a $25,000 grant to each of the top 40 vote-getters.
Among the causes in the running are the McPherson Housing Coalition, Inc. - Oak Harbor Cottages. To vote for this cause, once the voting begins on Wednesday, click here.
Two thousand submissions were received in June through State Farm Neighborhood Assist, a crowd-sourced philanthropic program that empowers communities to identify issues in their neighborhoods. The State Farm Review Committee selected the top 200 finalists, of which 34 states and the District of Columbia are represented.
The top 200 causes have until Aug. 27 at 11:59 p.m. ET to rally votes and anyone voting is allowed up to 10 votes per day. Voters can use them all on one cause, or spread them out in any way among multiple causes. On Sept. 29, the top 40 vote-receiving causes will be announced at www.neighborhoodassist.comand a $25,000 grant will be awarded to each of the affiliated nonprofits.
