While most people who say this are simply setting themselves up for failure, sometimes you do need just a small amount of something (often cash) thats outside your reach to make this happen.
(Really this is on topic and not spam, we're not getting anything out of this). This is why we started the Awesome Foundation. When I say 'We' I mean people from Dorkbot, the founder of ROFLCon, the guy that runs Microsoft Startup Labs in Boston, the founder of DIY BIO, and Alexis of Reddit among others.
The Awesome Foundation gives away $1,000 grants each month to people who want to do something 'awesome'. It doesn't have to be a business. It doesn't have to be tech based. It doesn't have to be open source. It can be anything that's awesome. We take zero ownership or credit for it. We simply give away $1,000 to someone each month that needs a boost to make something truly awesome happen.
So far we've funded a giant hammock for 30 people in the Boston Common and a Visualization contest. If you'd like to apply check out http://awesomefoundation.org or @awesomefound on Twitter.
Please excuse this if you think its spam, but like I said- we get nothing from this and do it as a service to the community and it seems on-topic.
