Spokane SOUP is a micro-granting community dinner where neighbors come together to share a meal and support creative, grassroots ideas. For a suggested $15 admission (pay what you can), attendees enjoy soup, salad, and bread—and receive a vote. Four presenters each share a four-minute proposal for a project that will benefit the Spokane County community. Attendees ask questions, discuss ideas, and then vote; the idea with the most votes wins the admission money pot that night. Spokane SOUP exists to bring people together, strengthen connections, and show how small contributions can create big change.
