The Awesome Foundation is a global, decentralized network of local chapters that provide micro-grants ($1000 or local equivalent) to individuals and groups working on "awesome" projects.
The foundation operates on a unique model where each chapter is autonomous, funded by local "trustees," and interprets "awesome" in its own context.
The grants are provided with no strings attached, emphasizing creativity, novelty, and community impact.
The Awesome Foundation's structure is decentralized, volunteer-driven, and focused on supporting grassroots innovation.
