Project for Awesome 2022 has been HUGE — the Nerdfighteria community has already raised over $2 Million for charity! Voting for who will receive a P4A grant closes Sunday at 12pm ET (that’s noon!) — which means that you have 24 hours to vote for all our videos and help us win up to $25,000 to support our work to turn fans into heroes!

Every year, folks around the globe make videos to share their love of nonprofit organizations doing good in the world, and we’re always honored to be one of them. We’re blown away each year by the incredible creativity that goes into these videos! Here are some of our favorites for 2022:

We truly love to see friendships flourish as our community grows together in the pursuit of making the world “a more hopeful, magical, and more compassionate place.”
