This round focuses on *individuals only*. Multiple individuals are not allowed to submit as one team submission. We invite collaborators on one effort to submit grant proposals individually, detailing what and how they personally contributed. Please indicate in the title of the grant the name of the individual Gitcoin Citizen this grant submission is rewarding.
Work should contribute directly to Gitcoin’s Essential Intents and/or the Ecosystem Collective’s focus areas.
Essential intents: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/update-gitcoin-s-ratified-essential-intents-2023-2024-and-a-recap-of-our-successes/16818
Ecosystem Collective: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/introducing-gitcoin-s-ecosystem-collective/17954
The Grant proposal should explicitly outline how you supported Gitcoin. Some (non-exhaustive) examples:
- educational content, eg. a guide on how to donate on our platform
- promotional content, eg running a twitter space to cover our rounds
- data analysis, eg. a data analysis of previous donations
- operations, eg. running a grants round
- governance, eg. adding meaningful contributions to the forum discussions
- community support, eg. helping out users in our discord
- platform and protocol dev, eg. pull requests or standalone add-ons
This round will focus on retroactive work only, i.e. work delivered in the past. For planned work, go to http://gitcoin.co/citizens. Only one proposal is allowed per grantee.
All submissions should outline the impact of their work, by referencing all captured data (e.g. viewers, forks, branches, listeners of a twitter space, posts written and number of likes and views.) The submission should include proof of impact, including links to where the work was delivered and received (e.g, content creation needs supporting usage analytics, governance participation should have relevant links to gov posts, individual involvement in a collective effort should have specific dates, links to Twitter space, or recordings.)
The proof of impact should show that the effort was well-received. Low or minimal impact efforts will not qualify. Examples of these include bug reports with minimal impact, non-strategic comments on the governance forum, translations of gitcoin content and other communication efforts which can easily be automated (AI, Google translate).
Grantees cannot be paid twice by Gitcoin for the same work, so any and all work that is submitted should be outside of the scope of Citizens Innovate, Forward or any other contracted work.
