April’s Grant Event is being held on April 26th at 7 pm. We’ll be at Two if By Sea in Dartmouth (NOT Halifax this time, folks!). C’mon out, see the four finalists pitch their ideas and see who walks away with $1,000 cash!
The Awesome Foundation exists to spread awesomenisity
through the world. There are 25 chapters (in locations
from Boston to New Zealand). And now we’ve added Halifax to the list.
Each chapter gives away one, $1,000 grant every month to someone (or a
group of someones) who has the most awesome idea. You can use it to
change the world, do something silly that will put a smile on peoples’
faces, or introduce something wild and crazy that no one has ever thought
of before. Pitch your awesome idea and you’re in the running!

grant? Visit the Submit Your Idea link and fire away!

I am an Atlantic School Of Theology Master of Divinity graduate in community ministry. As an ecumenical minister/ pastor and spiritual care practitioner/multi-faith chaplain with Koinonia Baptist Church wanting to spread awesomenisity in my area and through the world. I have the most awesome idea. I believe it meets your awesome criteria because it can be use it to change the world as well as do something silly that will put a smile on peoples’ faces introduce something wild and crazy that no one has ever thought
of before. An Awesome Wedding Gazebo on my property@ 2410 St Margaret’s Bay Road in Timberlea, Nova Scotia where there are choices for the gazebo’s location and also ample room for parking.
In my ministry I have married many same gender couples as well as heterosexual couples. Many who come here with no real venue or guests just themselves and their witnesses. I strive to make their day as meaningful as possible by blending their traditions and visions for their special day so they can economically have their wedding dreams come true. I also perform Child Blessings with just the child, parents, god-parents, I offer Spiritual Care to folk on a one on one basis over a cup of coffee or tea ( I call it Café Koinonia) I believe my Awesome idea is so user friendly that I can even provide Las Vegas type drive thru weddings for those couples with big dreams but significantly smaller budgets for their special day. These are options at the Awesome Wedding Gazebo for those of God’s Creation who are more than marginalized in our communities world wide. Such a venue also becomes a choice with dignity and grace in difficult economic times. It can be named AWESOME GAZEBO in promotion of Awesome Halifax as I live on the old # 3 Highway where traffic and advertising potential are significant.
