April 20 | Deadline to apply for $1,000 Awesome Foundation Grant

What is Awesome Foundation DC?

#1 - Is it awesome? (Is it unique? Interesting? Impactful? There are all sorts of awesome things.)
#2 - Does it directly benefit the city of Washington, DC? (We put heavy weight on supporting our tiny city/state and the awesomeness within. Fyi, there are Awesome Northern Virginia and Baltimore chapters, so if your project is focused on those regions, you might consider applying there.)
#3 - Will $1,000 make an actual impact? (Some organizations are super-well funded, so we focus on helping individuals and small groups fund new, small but mighty projects that $1,000 will make a difference.)
#4—Is it immediately actionable? (Similar to the actual impact, we heavily prefer projects that are a month or two away so that the money can have an immediate awesome impact in the community. If your project is a year away, wait to apply for a better chance at getting the grant.)
