Photographer Sandy Sorlien is building a 5-foot water molecule made of all sorts of balls that she found on the Schuylkill River.
Philadelphia’s Awesome Foundation is helping make it happen. The local chapter of a national microgrant organization gave Sorlien $1,000 for her project, dubbed Rescue H20. It’ll be on display during Art in the Open in May.
Launched last fall by O3 World partner Keith Scandone, the local Awesome Foundation chapter grants $1,000 to one organization each month. Each member of the chapter contributes $100.

The chapter’s members include AWeber‘s business development lead Hunter Boyle, SEER Interactive SEO associate Alisa Scharf and social media consultant Trina King.
