The Awesome Foundation
FORWARDING THE INTEREST OF AWESOME IN THE UNIVERSE, $1,000 AT A TIME.
The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the universe, $1000 at a time. Each fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants, usually given out monthly. These micro-grants, $1000 or the local equivalent, come out of pockets of the chapter's "trustees" and are given on a no-strings-attached basis to people and groups working on awesome projects.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Anyone is eligible for a grant — individuals, groups, and organizations alike. If you can fill out the application form, you can apply.
WHICH CHAPTER SHOULD I APPLY TO?
Most chapters show a strong preference for projects that contribute to their own communities, though some occasionally consider applications from further afield. Try to apply to a chapter near you, in a location where you have roots, or that you think would have a particular interest your idea. If this isn't possible, you can select "Any" on the application form, or apply to one of a handful of thematic chapters.
