Program accomplishments

  • The Foundation to Decrease World Suck engages the online video community of fans and creators to generate awareness of hundreds of charities and to donate to the Foundation, which has granted millions of dollars to nonprofits that promote such things as the humanities, serving the poor, educating the underprivileged, and providing health services to those in need. The Foundation raises money throughout the year, but primarily during one telethon-style online fundraiser, Project for Awesome. The Foundation grants all the money (save fundraising and administrative expenses) out to organizations selected by the board of directors, as suggested by the participants of the Project for Awesome.
