Awesome Gloucester is a chapter of the Awesome Foundation. Awesome Gloucester gives away $1,000 micro-grants every month.

Trustees of the Awesome Gloucester Foundation

From the Awesome Foundation FB page ~

“On a monthly basis, we pool together the money for Awesome Gloucester micro-grants from the coffers of twenty Trustees of Awesome. We then give this money to project creators upfront in cash. Our micro-grants are given with no strings attached.

Awesome Gloucester encourages and supports projects intended to add Awesomeness to Gloucester in any of the following areas: (1) maritime related industry and economy, (2) preservation of maritime heritage and culture, and (3) community togetherness and appreciation.

If you have an idea for an Awesome project you’d like for us to fund, simply fill in this form before the 15th of each month:

[NOTE: WE’LL START ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS IN SEPTEMBER.]

We get together on the last Thursday of every month to narrow down the field and decide the winner. After that meeting, we announce a list of Finalists by posting them on our Facebook Page.

A few days after we post the Finalists on Facebook, we’ll announce the winner! Lots of times we’ll host a party for the Finalists where we’ll hand over the $1,000 micro-grant in person and in cash.”
