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 Summer quarterly meeting will be held at 6pm on Aug 22, 2022 at the Hibberd Building Rooftop (321 S Main St, South Bend).

Submissions for the Summer Quarterly meeting are due by 5PM on Aug. 18, 2022.

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).
