Projects must be at least 3 months old. We use Twitter, web domain registration date, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The Kawagumba Village Community Farm Project was established in 2018, making it older than the 3-month requirement.
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 is focused on organic farming and agroforestry, which can help to reduce GHGs by sequestering carbon and reducing the use of harmful chemicals.
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) **must provide a new update on their progress and impact.** You can also include the challenges you've faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project has provided an update on their progress, outlining activities such as planting 200 trees, supporting education, and covering expenses related to their farming activities.
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.
Though not explicit about 'lessons learned', the project has outlined new goals for expansion and improvements that indicate how they will use additional funding.
There is a general expectation that projects are within the **“realm of viability”**. Even if a project is very early, it must still seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Including information about the team's expertise, qualifications and skills will help us review your grant.
The project is operating within the realm of viability, focusing on proven sustainable agriculture practices. There is no mention of web3 technology, which could affect the project's credibility in that aspect but is not necessary for the viability of the climate solutions proposed.
Grantees can be eliminated from consideration in the round if they are found to be encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
