Awesome Foundation Micro-Grants
Each fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants, usually given out monthly. These micro-grants, $1,000 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. Every chapter interprets “”awesome”” for itself. As such, awesome projects include initiatives...
