Where Creativity Meets Environmental Action

The True Blue Fellowship connects and empowers youth around the world leveraging the creative arts to safeguard the ocean, waterways, and climate. Through seed funding, peer support, and capacity building, the Fellowship follows a trust-based, creative arts-centered model to uplift youth enacting transformational change in their communities. It is not simply a grant program, it is an incubator for creative environmental leadership worldwide. If you want to make a difference in your community, we invite you to participate in the True Blue Fellowship!

The True Blue Fellowship provides mentorship, capacity-building programming, and up to USD $2,500 in funding for 12 youth leading creative arts-based projects that address ocean, waterways, and/or climate change issues in their local communities.

Projects should be at least one year in duration (January to December), and meet the following Fellowship goals:

This group provides an integrated platform where children and youth are provided with opportunities for training, workshop, scholarships, mentoring and funding opportunities to design and implement meaningful environmental initiatives in their schools and communities. This portal facilitates beyond awareness — it equips young people with practical tools, structured learning, and access to funding pathways.

The Awesome Foundation is a global community advancing the interest of awesome in the universe, $1000 at a time.

Each fully autonomous chapter supports awesome projects through micro-grants, usually given out monthly. These micro-grants, $1000 or the local equivalent, come out of pockets of the chapter's "trustees" and are given on a no-strings-attached basis to people and groups working on awesome projects.

One great tip: with one project idea, you can apply to more than one chapter.
