Making Money to
Make a Difference
Tyler, Ethan, and Ashton’s first workplace was a lemonade stand, selling lemonade, bottled water, and toys to raise funds for animals. As they spent summers working in the family real estate business, they learned to flip houses, creating The Awesome Fund as an avenue to distribute 50% of their profits to charitable causes.
Areas of Focus
EDUCATION
WHY: A good education is vital to ending poverty and empowering youth to build a better tomorrow.
WHAT WE SUPPORT: We provide grants for STEM and literacy programs, books for libraries, backpacks and school supplies to elementary and middle school students, and Chromebooks to college students. We also work with local organizations to build new elementary playgrounds via matching seed grants.
ANIMALS WELL BEING AND RESCUE
WHY: Animals deserve to be loved, protected, and have a happy life.
WHAT WE SUPPORT: We support organizations that serve and support the welfare of animals. Three of our favorites are Houston PetSet, Animeals and BARC.
MENTAL HEALTH FOR YOUTH
WHY: Because of the pandemic, our focus for this year is to support Asian youth in their efforts to better deal with mental health challenges.
WHAT WE SUPPORT: We support organizations that raise awareness and help Asian youth feel supported in their struggles with mental illness. This year, we donated and volunteered in the Chinese Community Center’s youth-organized 2022 luncheon and helped raised $80,000 to support this cause.
