We’re looking for your great ideas to make the Northside even more Awesome. Submit your idea by the end of the month!

The North Minneapolis Chapter of the Awesome Foundation grants support projects in business, sciences, arts, education, civic engagement, media, and entertainment — just about anything as long as it contributes to making the Northside of Minneapolis more AWESOME! And guess what – 501c3 status is not a requirement! The grants can go to groups, individuals, small non-profit organizations, almost any entity.

We prioritize applications that demonstrate clear ideas, project budgets, strong Northside connectivity and projects that positively impact the Northside. If you do not live in North Minneapolis or have a significantly strong connection to the Northside you will not likely be funded.

Apply by the end of each month to be eligible for a grant of up to $1000 for your Awesome Idea! One Grant of up to $1000 will be made each month. Winner will be notified by the middle of the month following. If you have not heard back you likely are not the winner and are welcome to apply again.
*Applications received in December and January will be considered in the first week of February for funding, rather then in our typical monthly cycle*

NO GRANTS WILL BE GIVEN IN JULY 2024 (Applications received in June and July will be considered in August)
