Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project has been active for longer than 3 months, as indicated by the reporting of progress since previous Gitcoin rounds (GR15 and the Alpha and Beta rounds).
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 proposal explicitly outlines the project's focus on regenerative work, reforestation, and development of a bioregional regenerative economy, all of which contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and 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.
The project update includes a report on the progress since GR15, outlining how previous funds were used to support various local initiatives and regenerative work.
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 has provided an update on their proposal with details on how additional funds will be utilized to support the ongoing regenerative projects and the intended activities for scaling their impact.
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 appears viable with tangible on-the-ground work already being carried out as evidenced by the successes and ongoing activities detailed in the proposal. The project integrates web3 tools for ecological health monitoring, suggesting an understanding of web3 technology in the context of climate solutions.
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 information provided in the application or available evidence suggesting the project has been involved in such practices, but without more detailed analysis or monitoring, an unequivocal assessment cannot be made.
