About Us

We are the new kids on the block! We are building up our Trustees in spring 2019, so if you’d like to join us email cleveland@awesomefoundation.org. Our chapter of the Awesome Foundation will begin by awarding quarterly $1,000 no-strings-attached cash to projects and programs that bring maximum awesomeness to Cleveland, Ohio!

Awesome Cleveland isn’t a foundation or a non-profit. Cash comes straight from the pockets of our passionate trustees and directly into the hands of the dreamers and doers making our community awesome. The definition of "Awesome" is left open-ended on purpose but it amounts to that intangible combination of social impact, surprise and FUN. If you’ve got an unconventional idea that needs some support, you’ve come to the right place.

Submit an application, below, before June 30th, 2019 to be considered for the first grant cycle.

The trustees meet the first month of each quarter (January, April, July, October). Directly after, we vote, announce the winner, and hand over the money! We take you at your word that you’ll finish the project and keep us in the loop along the way. Even if you don't get a grant, we're happy to connect you with people who share your interests and are equally awesome.

We want everyone to know #ClevelandIsAwesome 
