Awesome Without Borders

About Us

THANKS FOR ALL THE AWESOMENESS.

After 11+ years, we've signed off and closed applications for good. We're so proud to have supported such incredible work. Please visit https://www.awesomefoundation.org/ for more information on other AWESOME chapters!

Awesome Without Borders was a program of the Harnisch Foundation. On a weekly basis we offered $1,000 no-strings-attached grants to support creative and zany ideas, but also projects that overlap with the Harnisch Foundation focus areas of film/media, leadership, and projects that increase representation and inclusion in age, class, race, gender, sexuality, and/or ability.

Housekeeping: We did not award grants for payments to individuals, travel expenses, or religious affiliated projects, and usually declined grant requests from large, well-established non-profits, or projects that are for-profit.
