About Us

The North Minneapolis Chapter of the Awesome Foundation grants support projects in sciences, arts, education, civic engagement, media, and entertainment -- just about anything as long as it contributes to making the Northside of Minneapolis more AWESOME!

And guess what - 501c3 status is not a requirement!

The grants can go to groups, individuals, small non-profit organizations, almost any entity.

We prioritize applications that demonstrate clear ideas, project budgets, strong Northside connectivity and projects that positivity impact the Northside.

Apply by the end of each month to be eligible for a grant of up to $1000 for your Awesome Idea! 1 Grant of up to $1000 will be made each month (with the exception of December). Trustees meet at the beginning of each month to award a grant to applicants who applied in the previous month.

We are still looking for Trustees to join our chapter. If you are interested email northminneapolis@awesomefoundation.org
