An award winning chapter of the Awesome Foundation, Awesome Gloucester awards $1000 micro-grants every month. All of our grants are given in cash with no strings attached.
We encourage and support projects intended to add Awesomeness to Gloucester in any of the following areas: (1) innovation in maritime related industry and economy, (2) preservation of maritime heritage and culture, and (3) community togetherness and appreciation.
Our deadline for monthly proposals is the LAST DAY of each month. We then invite finalists to pitch their ideas on the LAST Thursday of each month at The Gloucester House Restaurant, the official home of Awesome Gloucester Pitch Nights.
Follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/AwesomeGloucester) and Instagram (www.instagram.com/awesomegloucester)
