ORRVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Folgers® was built on a "can do" spirit and it is committed to celebrating those who share a passion for perseverance. That's why Folgers has launched the "Can Do Promotion," where it will provide funding to ten projects – from initiatives supporting family to the larger community – and honor those who are dedicated to making good things happen to those who deserve it.

From now until March 24, 2019, all consumers are invited to submit their project for a chance to receive $1,000 in funding for their specific cause. Folgers will randomly select a different project each week to receive the funding award.
