Become a Trustee

KW Awesome Foundation is entirely run and funded by volunteer Trustees, and we are always interested in hearing from people who want to help make awesome things happen in Waterloo Region.

The more active Trustees we have, the more projects we can support. Additional Trustees can also make community-choice awards and other mini-grants possible.

What Trustees do

• Review grant applications.
• Attend Pitch Nights every other month.
• Ask questions and encourage applicants.
• Vote on the winning project.
• Contribute $100 per Pitch Night toward grant money.
• Help with organizational duties, communications, and community connections when possible.

The commitment

Trustees should be able to commit to an evening every other month for a year or more, contribute $100 per Pitch Night, and participate in the group’s decision-making and planning. Additional organizational help is welcome but can be shaped around your interests and availability.
