The Awesome Foundation distributes $1,000 grants, no strings attached, to projects and their creators. At each fully autonomous chapter, the money is pooled together from the coffers of ten or so self-organizing “micro-trustees”.
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!
Deadline
- Ongoing monthly applications, no deadline.
Helpful tips
- Typically 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 in 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.
- If you’re selected, there’s no need to apply again unless your idea has changed.
