La Crosse SOUP founder Andrew Londre told us about the monthly micro-granting and community building events.  Check out their Facebook Page for more info.
How SOUP works: $5 buys a bowl of soup, bread, and a vote.  Four people/groups pitch their ideas and people vote for the best idea.  The winner takes home the money and is "on their honor" to follow through with their idea.  Andrew was inspired by the "Start with Why" TED Talk - find a link to it here.
