Changes

[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!!!

In 2011, in the wake of the Haiti Earthquake foreign aid scramble, the Foundation established '''The Institute on Higher Awesome Studies''' with the resounding cry for alternatives to traditional forms of aid, ''"Yo, I know this sounds cray-cray. But like, check this argument out..." . ''Mainstream aid is plagued with many inefficiencies in short sighted goals, rigidity and use of outsiders over indigenous resources and knowledge. AF recognized that their flexibility in being a sum of many decentralized small parts allowed them to adapt to tough aid crisis, chapter by chapter, month by month, and empowering task forces native to the areas they are trying to help. These chapters are already cropping up in New Orleans and Detroit.
