MakeWater fulfills the specific criteria laid out for the grant round, including mission orientation towards the Web3 ecosystem, being active for more than 3 months, and having a focus on community and education within Web3.

Minimum Age: Projects must have been active for at least 3 months.
MakeWater is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which implies a long-term operational status well exceeding the minimum 3 months of activity requirement.
Qualifying Project Types:
MakeWater qualifies for several project types listed, including educational material & resources, community growth initiatives, and user onboarding.
Community Growth Initiatives
The MakeWater initiative is aimed at growing new communities through STEAM education and creating opportunities for community engagement around water solutions and Web3 technology.
Educational Material & Resources
MakeWater provides educational programs and digital curricula focused on water purification systems which qualifies as providing educational materials and resources.
Investigative Journalism (e.g. impact reporting, bad actor investigations)
MakeWater's outlined activities do not explicitly include investigative journalism, impact reporting or bad actor investigations as part of its core mission.
Content Creation (e.g., YouTube tutorials, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, memes)
While MakeWater has produced content such as YouTube videos related to water purification systems, it is unclear if there is a consistent provision of such content or other types across media platforms that align with the Content Creation criteria.
Community-Building DAOs
The project description does not clearly indicate if MakeWater operates or plans to create a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) for community building purposes, thereby leaving the attainment of this criteria uncertain.
User Onboarding
MakeWater appears to onboard new users, particularly youth, students, and educators to Web3 and blockchain technology, which fits within the User Onboarding criteria.
Inclusion, Diversity, and Advocacy Programs
MakeWater's initiative at the 'Black Girls Code Event in Houston' along with its educational offerings to underserved students suggests strong alignment with inclusion, diversity, and advocacy programs.
