Awesome Food now accepting applications for $1,000 microgrants

July 20th, 2011

Awesome Food, a chapter of the worldwide Awesome Foundation, officially launched on Wednesday, July 20 and is now accepting grant applications from around the world to further food awesomeness in the universe. Visit awesomefood.net to learn more and apply at awesomefood.net/apply. The first round for application deadline is end-of-day, Friday, August 5th.

Each month, Awesome Food will give one applicant $1,000 to help pull off an awesome idea involving food. The ideas must relate to food in some form, and the definition will be more inclusive than exclusive. Examples could include educating the public about DIY-farming, creating an ad-hoc eatery in a subway car, or recording videos of immigrants’ recipes.

Visit the Awesome Food website for information about how to apply.

    Our current food system is decidedly not awesome: it subsidizes food that makes us sick and makes it difficult to get a hold of anything fresh. But a micro-grant foundation, called Awesome Food. Nice topic and very informative.Thanks,
