In an effort to raise awareness and provide a role for citizens to play within the Foundation, SzKA launched "You Choose" in 2008. Seven local NGOs provided project ideas which were presented in through local media. Citizens were then asked to vote for their top three. The top three projects each received a 2,000 euro grant, and will receive coverage through the local media as their projects progress. The goal of the project was not only to raise SzKA's profile, but to instill a sense of ownership in the community. More than 800 turned out to vote, and though this year's fund came through Network for Social Change in the United Kingdom, based on the success of this year's campaign we hope to fund this entirely through community donations matched by local corporations in the future.
