The money is given upfront in cash, check, or gold doubloons by groups of ten or so self-organizing β€œmicro-trustees,” who form autonomous chapters around geographic areas or topics of interest.The Foundation provides these grants with no strings attached and claims no ownership over the projects it supports. It is, in the words of one of our trustees, a micro-genius grant for flashes of micro-brilliance.Since its humble beginnings, many Awesome Foundation chapters have sprung up globally to conserve, sustain, and support the worldwide ecosystem of awesomeness. Projects have included efforts in a wide range of areas including technology, arts, social good, and beyond.
