Up late reviewing #AwesomeFoundation applications for our meeting tomorrow night. Absolutely love learning about all of the creativity in this city, and it's always sad that we are only able to fund one project each month.

Also, if you like the idea of giving out $1,000 (or local equivalent) every month to an awesome project, talk to me about the #AwesomeFoundation. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and we’ve collectively given out over $6M around the world in that time, $1,000 at a time.

Putting on my #philanthropy hat, the #nyc chapter of the #AwesomeFoundation just funded Bronx Bound Books, a bookstore on wheels.

Did you know that the Bronx (population 1.5M people) only had one single #bookstore? This is ridiculous, so this month’s grantee is doing something about it by converting an old bus into a mobile bookstore. https://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/projects/205422-bronx-bound-books
