Have you heard about the Awesome Foundation yet? It's a pretty new thing so that's cool if you haven't.
Basically, it's no strings attached micro-grants of $1,000 every month, given to folks who have a crazy brilliant idea that needs funding.
This event is just a get together, a bit of a jam sesh to start the conversation - but it’s an important one.
Maybe you're one of the people with an Awesome idea? Or you're lucky enough to know someone who does? We see a lot of that kind of Awesome in Adelaide, and we want to see a lot more. The only way we can is by making ourselves known, and encouraging people to spread the word.
We would love for you to join us for a bit of a chinwag at Hub Adelaide this Thursday, Awesome style. Here be the plan:
- Fill a room with change-makers just like you*
- Make sure everyone is comfortable and happy, put a little music on
- Open the floor to discussion
- Chat about makes Adelaide Awesome, and how to best encourage the ideas out of hiding
*And before you start up saying 'ohhhh but I'm not a change maker, so I probs wouldn't, like, fit in there...' we would like to point out that you are definitely a change-maker.
The way we define change-maker is someone who wants to make a difference, someone who loves to encourage the Awesome in others, and wants to connect with other like minded folks. Someone just like you who 'gets' that support and possibility make for an excellent combination.
Let’s be honest, if you weren't a change-maker you would have stopped reading by now :)
