Soup Ottawa is a recurring participatory micro-grant dinner event.

How does it work? We're looking for creative ideas that would benefit the community, and we want to give you a chance to share your idea with others.

Everyone is invited to the event, whether you're presenting an idea or just curious to hear and support what's happening in Ottawa. $10 at the door gets you a tasty bowl of soup (generously donated from a local restaurant), great conversations with creative people, and one vote for your pick of the best idea presented that evening.

Here's the clincher: that $10 you paid at the door? Every last cent goes to the winner of the evening. No admin fees, no commission, no overhead. We're not in this to make money. We just want to see great ideas benefit our community.

For those who don't win, this will still be a great chance to get your idea out there. Who knows, maybe some other people at the event will be interested in working with you to help realize your vision.
