Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not specify the exact start date of the project, which is necessary to determine if the project meets the 3-month age 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 involves training in regenerative agriculture and tree planting, which are directly related to climate solutions through carbon sequestration, thus meeting the criteria of being focused on climate solutions.
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 mention of a collaboration with REFI SPRING, but it is unspecified if this was funded by Gitcoin in previous rounds and if so, there is no report detailing achievements or progress made since the receipt of those funds.
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.
While the proposal offers detailed objectives and a description of past work, there is no clear information about specific lessons learned from previous work or how the additional funding will be deployed, nor is there a detailed timeline provided.
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's activities, such as promoting regenerative agriculture and planting trees, are practical and widely recognized strategies for climate mitigation, indicating that the project is credible and feasible.
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.
There is no evidence provided in the project description that suggests they are involved in Sybil attacks or other malicious activities against the Gitcoin platform or its community, thus meeting this criterion by default.
