The '''Pepsi Refresh Project''' (PRP) was a 2010 initiative by [[PepsiCo]] to award $20 million in [[Grant (money)|grants]] to individuals, businesses and non-profits that promote a new idea that has a positive impact on their community, state, or the nation. The project is completely separate from the Pepsi Corporate Foundation and uses money budgeted for marketing.<ref>Howard, Brian Clark: [http://www.thedailygreen.com/living-green/blogs/recycling-design-technology/pepsi-refresh-project "Pepsi Refresh Project Inspires Kids to Eat Veggies and Puts Solar Panels in New Orleans"] The Daily Green, November 15, 2010</ref>
