Detroit Awesome Foundation + Awesome Hour
The Detroit Awesome Foundation is the local chapter of the Boston-based micro-philanthropic organization, the Awesome Foundation. We award a $1,000 grant every month to a group or individual working to make an impact in our community. These micro-grants come out of the pockets of the chapter's "trustees" – awesome individuals just like you who want to see Detroit become even awesomer than it already is! Do Good Work serves as the fiscal sponsor.
In addition to being the fiscal sponsor, each month, Do Good Work hosts a pop-up bar with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, so all proceeds go back into future awesome efforts. This gathering is an opportunity to meet the monthly grant awardee and learn about their awesome project. It also provides a space for community members engaged in local civic work to connect and support each others efforts beyond the micro-grant with knowledge sharing, resources, and connecting volunteering.
