Awesome Foundation Rhode Island supports creative ideas for the Ocean State. We can't wait to hear from you!
We’re updating our grant cycle to offer more time. From September 2026 on, applications open on the 1st of each month and close on the final day of the month at 11:59 PM EST. We will be meeting to vote on the first Wednesday of the following month.
Suggestions:
Write proposals in a doc outside our portal. This protects against loss, and lets you flush ideas out more naturally.
Have a friend read your proposal. Ensure you’re not skipping key points.
Assume we have some idea what’s going on (in culture, media, technology, education). We need to know the basic Who / What / When / Where / Why, but it need not be an essay.
Budgets can be a top-level overview.
