This new chapter of the Awesome Foundation (an international organization with nearly 100 chapters worldwide) began in spring 2019 by awarding (2) quarterly $1,000 no-strings-attached cash to projects and programs that bring maximum awesomeness to Cleveland, Ohio (projects throughout Cuyahoga County are encouraged)!
Check out our awesome work here:
https://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/clevelandWe aren't really a foundation or a non-profit. Cash comes straight from the pockets of our passionate trustees and directly into the hands of the dreamers and doers making our community awesome. The definition of "Awesome" is left open-ended on purpose but it amounts to that intangible combination of social impact, surprise and FUN.
Trustees have access to all applications to review and vote on during a quarterly meeting (generally the second week of the last month of each quarter (March, June, September, December)). Directly after we vote, we announce the winner and hand over the money! In addition to a time commitment***, Trustees provide $100 quarterly to grow the grant funds.
You will appear on our website as a Trustee and have many opportunities to be more or less involved with occasional 'Awesome Happy Hours', the radio show, recruitment and more.
*** We also accept Trustees who are only interested / able to make a financial commitment and NOT a time commitment. This keeps you on board as a Trustee but also allows your $100/quarter to fund a scholarship to a less financially-able individual so they can have a vote in the grant vetting process (usually a HS student).
We are always looking for new Trustees. If you would like to learn more, please fill out the form below. Allison will be in contact with you shortly to bring you on board!
