Project for Awesome

Project for Awesome (often abbreviated P4A) is a community-driven charitable movement on YouTube, created by the Green brothers, Hank and John, run through their Vlogbrothers YouTube channel and through their online community known as Nerdfighteria. Formerly dubbed the Nerdfighter Power Project for Awesome, the project has taken place annually since 2007. The movement was started to have YouTubers create innovative videos promoting their favorite charity and upload it by a certain deadline, with the aim that their promoted charity gains more awareness, and donations from audiences.

For most of the project's history, a central feature has been a telethon-style live stream, typically lasting 48 hours, to help coordinate viewers' efforts. The majority of the live stream is co-hosted by Hank and John, with other internet creators guest hosting for an hour at a time. Past guests have included Brennan Lee Mulligan, Travis McElroy, Destin Sandlin, Tessa Violet, and The Gregory Brothers. Staff from partner charities, such as Dr. Joia Mukherjee from Partners In Health, are also featured on the stream. Until 2019, the P4A took place each December, but in 2020 it was announced that the event would be held in February moving forward, beginning with the next edition in 2021.

Since 2007, the project has raised more than $20 million for charities including Save the Children, Partners In Health, and organizations nominated by the community.
