Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
Based on the project's description and previous round participation, it is evident that the project has been in operation for more than 3 months.
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.
The project's activities, such as planting trees, creating an agroforestry school, and promoting regenerative agriculture, are directly related to climate solutions and the reduction of GHGs.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha & Beta rounds. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha & Beta round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project details specific accomplishments since the previous funding round, such as the number of trees planted, educational events held, and community engagement metrics.
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.
The project update includes details on how previous funds were used and outlines future plans for additional funding, as well as a general timeline for ongoing and upcoming activities.
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.
The project demonstrates practical and viable activities that have already been initiated, tying them into web3 concepts like dMRV and NFT ticketing, suggesting a credible and actionable approach to climate solutions.
