Join us in Chicago in May 2019 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Awesome Foundation!
Â
Our sixth AweSummit is a time for Awesome Foundation members across the world to come together, exchange ideas and experiences, and to get ready for another decade making great ideas happen.
Since the Awesome Foundation was founded in Boston in 2009, we've held five summits -- Boston (2012), New York City (2013), Ottawa (2014), Seattle (2016), and Washington DC (2017). Each has been a valuable chance to strengthen our movement and build connections across the globe. The Chicago chapter is thrilled to host the sixth summit 2019. Can't wait to see you here! 🌃
Chicago is a highly-accessible city. If you want to arrive by plane, it's easiest to land at either O'Hare (on the CTA Blue Line) or Midway (on the CTA Orange Line). Both train lines will lead you to the Loop. If you are arriving by Amtrak, your last stop will be Union Station. The city is also a destination on Greyhound and Megabus routes.Â
Travel Assistance: If you want travel assistance, please make a request here. Priority consideration will be given to those who are able to make a request for travel assistance by December 31, 2018.

It's recommended to pick something near a Red or Blue Line CTA stop, as those train lines run 24/7. We will be offering opportunities to lodge with Chicago trustees, as available. You can also find lodging at Airbnb and hotels within the Loop or West Loop.Â

The Awesome Foundation is a network of giving circles, and every month our chapters award $1,000 grants to make local communities more awesome, donating over $3 million across the world in just nine years. We fund fun, community projects like mini-golf along Milwaukee Avenue on Parking Day to critical social action projects like supplying meals at the end of the Red Line to those in need, and everything in between. You can see our global impact and learn more about past projects at awesomefoundation.org.
