The Awesome Foundation is microphilanthropy in action. We make a $1,000 grant every other month to fund awesomeness. Let us know what you are planning, why it's awesome, and how you plan to spend the money. What we look for in an application:

Local focus: Applications for Philly based projects are preferred, though grants have been awarded for regional projects.

Community impact: You do not need to be a registered nonprofit/ 501c3. However we are looking for projects that have a positive impact in the community. We only consider grants for applicants that offer services free of charge to populations in need.

Clear plan: Projects should be ambitious and also feasible. We look for applicants with a well-defined strategy for how the grant will be used.

We review applications the second Tuesday of every other month (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, and Nov) and notify the winner as soon as we decide who to award the money to. We look forward to reviewing your application!
