What are the Awesome Grants?

The Awesome Foundation Grant is a $1,000 monthly micro-grant awarded to projects and businesses that local chapters consider "awesome." The program supports creative, innovative, and impactful ideas across a wide range of industries and initiatives, with funding decisions made independently by local chapters.

What are the requirements?

To be eligible, applicants must submit an application through the Awesome Foundation's website and present an idea for a project or business. Applications typically include a short pitch, a brief bio, and photos or supporting materials when applicable. Eligibility and review criteria may vary slightly by local chapter.

Who is the grant best for?

This grant is best for entrepreneurs, creators, and project leaders with a compelling or unconventional idea who are looking for small, flexible funding to bring a concept to life. It's especially well suited for early-stage projects that benefit from quick, no-strings-attached support.

How are the winners selected?

Grant recipients are selected monthly by local Awesome Foundation chapters. Each chapter reviews applications independently and chooses recipients based on how "awesome" and impactful the idea is, according to their own criteria.
