We’re thrilled again this month with the geographical spread of the submitted ideas- hopeful project ideas poured in from every state. New York and California continue to lead the pack as you’ll see below…

Taking a look at the submissions by category, we notice that ideas are a bit more spread than last month, but again the volume of ideas in the education category indicate its priority at the moment.

At the grant level, one piece of data stands out: We received more submissions for $250,000 grants than any other level. Last month we had a similar dispersal. While we are impressed by the ambition this shows, we want to emphasize that the Refresh Project only awards two $250k grants every month, so bear in mind that your chances of winning are much higher at the $5k, $25k, and $50K levels.

We’re excited by the quality of submissions in this second round. Keep on voting for your favorite projects and get your idea ready for the next round, which opens April 1st.
