==== What makes us Awesome ====
 
What makes the Awesome Foundation awesome?
 
# Low barriers to entry, for both applicants and participants
 
## Trustees aren't philanthropists, don't see themselves that way
 
## Makes philanthropy accessible
 
## Easy app for grantees, people who don't think of themselves as grant recipients
 
## "I don't have an $100,000 idea, but everyone has a $1000 idea"
 
# P2P giving from one average person to another
 
## Grant recipients have become trustees, it's interchangeable
 
# Constant experimentation
 
## We all innovate on the model
 
## Unofficial motto: "what's the worst that could happen?"
 
## Anyone can start an AF, huge amount of biodiversity
 
# Fun
 
## It's actually fun to be in the Awesome Foundation
 
 
==== IHAS ====
 
[[IHAS]] is a backend for the Awesome Foundation that allows the AF to maintain its nebulous, loosely organized nature. IHAS does things so that chapters don't have to. Basically, IHAS is [http://c2910532.r32.cf0.rackcdn.com/84779-4f0f896236e5c-large.jpg Kitten Voltron].
 
 
==== Awesome Summit: Assemble ====
 
* 26/45 active chapters
 
* 4 fledgling chapters
 
* 5 continents
 
* We have exactly exponential growth so far
 
* Most of the time spent in working groups, one of the most productive Christina has ever been to
 
* Meta-Awesome grant - winner Ponzi Awesome
 
 
==== Awesome Summit: Connect ====
 
Goals:
 
# Build community
 
# Cover unique issues
 
# Build organizational APIs
 
  
Spirit of the conference: JFDI (Just .. Do It)
