A Propos

Have an idea that’ll make our town even MORE AWESOME? Want to win $1000 with no strings attached to make it happen? You're in the right place!

Twenty-eight micro-trustees (all Ipswich residents) are pleased to partner with The Awesome Foundation to announce Awesome Ipswich third season! Over the past two years we gave away over $23K to local groups with awesome ideas! This year we have even more support in making awesome things happen in Ipswich. The Awesome Foundation has donated over $7M to groups around the world in an effort to “create more awesomeness in the universe $1000 at a time.” Currently there are local groups in Georgetown, Gloucester and Rockport, with groups starting in Hamilton-Wenham, Newburyport and Salem!

Submissions are due on the 25th of each month and must be submitted via this website. We will vote on the submissions within the last week of the month and reach out to our finalists so they can prep for our next Pitch Night.

THIS YEAR OUR PITCH NIGHTS ARE ON: Sept. 17/Oct. 14/Nov.12/Dec.16/Jan.14/Feb.24/Mar.18/Apr.14/May13/June16

All members of the public are welcome to attend.

The only catch is it needs to benefit Ipswich, and if we can take pic or two! All ages and ideas are welcome!

This isn’t too good to be true, this is just another magical thing about living in Ipswich. Submit your idea today!
