Changes coming starting with the April 2024 cycle:
The final question of the application will be a two-part question: REQUIRED: 1. (Yes/No) I confirm that I am not applying to cover my personal medical needs, rent, utilities, home repairs, car trouble, appliances, etc. 2. What are your other funding sources for this project and why would receiving $1000 be critical for your project?

Launched in April 2017, Awesome Disability is an independent chapter of the Awesome Foundation, a global community that provides micro-grants with no strings attached. The trustees of Awesome Disability are people with disabilities that want to support ideas and projects in our community.
Featured in Rooted in Rights and Diversability.
How it works
- 10-ish Trustees (on average) each contribute $100 per month.
- People with awesome ideas submit an application for the grant. Please submit your application in English.
- The trustees review and discuss the applications, and pick the best one.
- The winner is given $1000, no strings attached.
- The process is repeated every month, in order to spread the awesomeness.
We accept submissions for the month's grant between the 1st through the 10th of the current month. We will not consider applications submitted outside of this window. Decisions are made by the end of the month.
We select one application for the monthly grant.
