Hello! Sorry this has taken so long but, in case you missed it, we have (finally) announced the 10 charities the community chose to receive the money raised during the Project for Awesome:

  1. Office of Letters and Light
  2. Not Forgotten
  3. Wildlife Waystation
  4. Alzheimer’s Society
  5. Harry Potter Alliance
  6. Save the Children
  7. BGSU Dance Marathon
  8. Uncultured Project
  9. Techo
  10. Love146

By March 22nd we will be contacting each organization individually to inform them of when the grants will be made and how much they should expect to receive. In all, we raised over $400,000 but are still calculating all expenses and fees of the perks and shipping - so we don’t have an exact number to share, but it is more than we ever thought possible. These grants will decrease some serious suck. 

DFTBA,

Foundation to Decrease World Suck

Quick update

We haven’t announced the winners of Project for Awesome yet because we are still working out the finer logistics of actually giving the money to a couple of them. There’s some minor (and boring) administrative things we have to do in order to stay in compliance with the people that monitor that kind of stuff, and as soon as that is all handled we’ll break out the megaphone and let everyone know who to congratulate. That moment is coming very soon… stay tuned!

PERKS!

We are feverishly working on perks and shipping them out daily. When your perk has been shipped, our shipping software should send you an email letting you know which item was shipped. There are several perks that have been complicated by rejected addresses, return-to-senders, no-such-name reports from the post office, erroneous zip codes, etc etc etc.

If you have already sent an email to either info@projectforawesome.com or perks@projectforawesome.com, your email has been received and will be handled as promptly and thoroughly as is humanly possible. You do not need to resend your email. Again, if you have already sent an email, it has been received, you do not need to resend. Doing so will only slow us down from researching and resolving problems.

That being said, here’s a list of what has been sent:

Men of YouTube Calendars
Signed Pride & Prejudice books (Lizzie Bennet level)
P4A tees w/ P4A lapel pin
Hanklerfish art
Felicia Day posters
Hank’s Face mp3
John Green ebook
John Green and Maureen Johnson short story
Lower Thirds

If your perk is not listed above, please don’t email us yet!

Again, if you have sent an email about your non-receipt of any of the above perks, your email has been received and we are working on fixing it. Unfortunately there isn’t a blanket fix for problem shipments, each one has to be researched individually and that is taking us some time.

If you have NOT sent us an email about your non-receipt, please do alert us so that we can get you your deserved perk.

Thank you so much for your patience, your support, and your awesomeness!
