JUST WHAT IS THE AWESOME FOUNDATION?It's a small group of awesome people who pitch in $100 out of their own pockets each month to grant $1000 to the most awesome idea submitted that month! What's more awesome than $1000 for an awesome idea?!

Our core tenets: 
  1. We believe that people are basically awesome
  2. Awesome ideas need to be rewarded
  3. Collectively we can do far more than any of us can do individually


Top4 Finalists:
    • Music Everywhere! (Tony Grimes) Bringing music to where music is needed most - community gardens that are growing our food.
    • Word Powered Art (Jo Steffens) Text-based art to be displayed on digital billboards.
    • HSCA Harvest Market (Joe Vipond)A celebration of Urban Agriculture... the first of an annual competition celebrating what can be grown within the city limits of Calgary.
    • Free Classic Movie - aka Guerrilla Drive-in (Matt Hamel) Join like-minded Calgarians outside the Simmons Mattress Factory part of the new Riverwalk to watch Casablanca under the stars for free.
