Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Raise awareness and funds for charitable organizations through the online community.
-
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.
Expenses $2,763,518 · Grants $2,558,145 · Revenue $166

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
