The Awesome Foundation for the Arts and Sciences is an ever-growing, worldwide network of people devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe. Started in Boston in July 2009, the Foundation distributes a series of monthly $1,000 grants to projects and their creators. It is a micro-genius grant for flashes of micro-brilliance. These grants are provided with no strings attached and The Awesome Foundation claims no ownership over the projects it supports.
