[http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en The Awesome Foundation] is a way to celebrate and support the brilliant ideas that every-day people have, and thus create more awesomeness in the universe and at large. They do this by awarding a $1000 grant each month to a really swell idea. No strings attached. And AWESOME THINGS COME OF IT!!!
Awesome Chapters are becoming valuable nodes in their communities; creating a reason for very interesting, imaginative, cross-discipline people to encounter each other and public attractions which allow them to bond. Many Awesome Projects are very community-centric, here are a few:
