Awesome Without Borders is a project of the Harnisch Foundation. TheHF is the source of the weekly $1000 grants when the applicant is a charity recognized by the IRS with a 501(c)(3) designation. If the recipient isn’t a nonprofit, the funds come from the personal account of TheHF founder, Ruth Ann Harnisch. Awesome Without Borders is also a chapter of the Awesome Foundation, an international association of individual chapters usually associated with a geographical area where they give local grants, like Awesome Atlanta. Our chapter is “without borders,” meaning we accept applications from anywhere in the world. If this sounds like something you and your friends would enjoy doing, start your own chapter! It’s the most fun we have, reading about all the awesome things that awesome humans are doing. This is the only project of the Harnisch Foundation that welcomes, encourages, loves applications.
