Project for Awesome is a yearly livestream event hosted by John & Hank Green's Foundation for World Suck in which participants create short videos advocating for charities. Money raised during the second half of the livestream is granted to the charities that have achieved the most votes on the Project for Awesome website across all of their videos; in past years this has been about $20,000 each to winners.

Since 2015, members of the effective altruism community have coordinated to make videos for a shortlist of charities voted on in a Facebook group ahead of time to increase the chances that those charities recieve the grant.

Past winners as a result of EA coordination:

  • 2022: The Against Malaria Foundation, The Humane League, The Good Food Institute.

  • 2021: ~$27,000 for The Against Malaria Foundation, The Good Food Institute, GiveDirectly, Clean Air Task Force, The Humane League, Givewell Maximum Impact Fund, and Wild Animal Initiative. Likely total of $189,700.

  • 2020: No P4A this year - it was moved from December 2020 to February 2021.

  • 2019: At least $14,701.10 for The Against Malaria Foundation, The Good Food Institute, GiveDirectly, and Clean Air Task Force. Total of $58,804.40.

  • 2018: $18,630.48 for The Against Malaria Foundation, The Good Food Institute, and GiveDirectly. Total of $55,891.44.

  • 2017: $19,718 for The Against Malaria Foundation and GiveDirectly. Total of $39,436.
