The Awesome Foundation is a global network of micro-giving chapters that give $1000 of their own money every month to awesome projects.
We're the Sydney chapter! We fund out-there ideas that make Sydney more awesome.
The ideas sometimes aren't so absurd: they can be super sensible, too. The catch? There isn’t one: there are no strings attached.
