I guess those that use tapa sometimes don't see announcements so this is from Naria.
So after going back and forth on whether or not we wanted to enter this year, we decided to pull the trigger. Every year for the past 4 years, Fedex has awarded grants to small businesses based on a combination of popular vote (round one) and final selection by their board. The grand prize is $25k, and they also award several smaller grants.
Any of the grants would go a long way in increasing our digital marketing campaign, as well as allow us to aggressively market at parenting expos in the later part of this year.
You have to have a facebook account to vote, but it doesn't post on your wall automatically or anything obnoxious like that.
You can vote once per day. Please help us catch up- voting has been open for a week already, so we have ground to make up

And yes, we know there are two typos. Unfortunately we can't edit. I (naria) will be the first to admit that currently I am not on my A-game. We also didn't think that it would be accepted by Fedex in time, so we were all surprised when we got the confirmation the same day.
Thank you all for the support!
