A Propos

The South Bend Awesome Fund is dedicated to supporting people, ideas, businesses, and causes that will make the South Bend area even more Awesome! The Chapter meets on a quarterly basis to award three $1000 grants. Finalists are selected one week prior to the quarterly meeting and are required to give a 5 minute presentation at the quarterly meeting. Following all presentations, Chapter Members will vote and award three $1000 grants to the top three vote recipients. Applications are always open and will be considered on a quarterly basis. Even if a meeting date for the next meeting has not been set, applications are open and the next meeting will typically be ~3 mo. from the date of the previous meeting.

The Chapter's next quarterly meeting will be held at 530pm on June 4 (Momentum Entrepreneurship Hub). Submissions for the upcoming Quarterly meeting are due by 5pm on Friday, May 30. You will receive notification if you are selected as a finalist.

Submissions should highlight how grant funds will be used to make the South Bend region even more Awesome!

Any submission not awarded a grant at a quarterly meeting is welcome to apply for a future meeting.

Even if the date of a future quarterly meeting has not been set, applications are open (please apply).
