What would you do with $1,000? We want to fund projects that delight people and spark discussion or that attempt something important in a new way. We fund beginners, small projects and experimenters with a dream or scheme. How can you use $1,000 to make your community or the world more Awesome?
The application is short (we promise!) and will be submitted to your local chapter. Please check out your local chapter's page for more details.

You just found out that The Awesome Foundation exists, and are super excited to get involved, and the nearest chapter is... a million miles away. Why not start your own local chapter? The chapter founders who take this on are generally interested in building community and rallying people around a cause. You'll need to get 9 other micro-trustees on board, and the rest is easy! We'll help set you up and be thrilled to welcome you as the newest chapter of Awesome.
