Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided description does not include information about the exact founding date of ReFi Paramaribo, making it difficult to determine the project’s age.
The Grant must be primarily focused on climate solutions (the group may do other work but the grant proposal should be directly related to climate solutions). The proposal should explicitly outline how this project will help reduce GHGs or is an important core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions.
ReFi Paramaribo is focused on empowering local communities to create sustainable and equitable futures, which aligns with the climate solution goals. Although the specific details on GHG reduction are not outlined, the regenerative projects mentioned, like Food for Tomorrow, hint at climate-related initiatives within the broader proposal.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha round. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
There is no information provided regarding previous funding rounds that ReFi Paramaribo may have participated in or the progress reports associated with those rounds, if any.
All returning grantees are expected to update their proposal, in addition to project updates the proposal should include lessons learned from previous work and how they will use the additional funding from the upcoming round. The updated proposal should indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its goals, and include a rough timeline for the project overall.
It is not clear whether ReFi Paramaribo has received past funding from Gitcoin or any update has been provided concerning use of funds, lessons learned, and timelines, as the description lacks details on their previous grant experience.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the “realm of viability”. Even if a project may be at a very early stage, it still must seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
ReFi Paramaribo’s goal of empowering local communities through a co-working space and supporting regenerative projects seems within the realm of viability and does not broadly appear to be considered an impossibility. The project provides a constructive and credible approach to the challenges addressed.
