Discovery of the Week: The Awesome Foundation

Last month I attended Ignite Melbourne where one of the speakers, Ross Hill talked about The Awesome Foundation.
The Awesome Foundation has about twenty chapters around the world, each of which provide monthly $1,000 grants to a someone in order to do something awesome.
There is a Melbourne chapter. Previous grant recipients include:
A filmmaker making a documentary about the Tour de Timor bike race.
The Melbourne Winter Warmth project that provides basic needs for the homeless.
A project to completely cover a car in macarons (because a car covered in macarons is awesome!)
I love the simple, contagious, whimsical, tilting at windmills feel of it all.
Be awesome.
