Bentonville SOUP is a micro-granting dinner celebrating and supporting creative projects in and around Bentonville.
For a $15 donation, attendees receive a plate of food, a drink, and a vote. Food is supplied by area businesses and attendees alike in a collaborative, potluck style. (we are currently figuring out best practices for food - tba!) A suggested donation of $15 gets you a vote and a plate to share in the potluck dinner provided by all attendees.
At each SOUP dinner, there are four presentations on projects that benefit Bentonville. Projects can be focused on a range of topics, such as art, urban agriculture, social justice, peacemaking, education, and technology. If you have an idea you want to present, fill out the form here!
