The Awesome Foundation awards no-strings-attached monthly micro-grants (typically $1,000) through autonomous local chapters to individuals and small groups proposing surprising, creative, and fast-moving projects that boost community vibrancy. While many chapters fund arts, pop-up public projects, and tech experiments, the foundation also runs targeted micro-programs (e.g., Conservation & Climate) to support hands-on environmental and wildlife work often overlooked by larger funders. Chapters operate independently worldwide, so priorities and recipient types vary by chapter but skew toward small-scale, high-concept, locally rooted initiatives.
Distributed as monthly $1,000 micro-grants through independent local chapters (rolling/monthly cycles in most chapters); occasional themed program rounds (e.g., Conservation & Climate) with specific deadlines. Grants are small, one-time, no-restriction awards chosen by chapter trustees — often for individuals, informal groups, or pilot projects.
