Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project describes six months of past work with local communities and on their initiatives.
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 outlines multiple initiatives that are aimed directly at climate solutions such as increasing green cover, promoting sustainable practices, and educating communities about invasive species.
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 proposal includes updates on their progress, but it is unclear from the provided information whether they have received funding in previous rounds.
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 outlined lessons learned and described how additional funding will be used, as well as provided a rough timeline. However, without confirmation of their status as a returning grantee, it's uncertain if this criterion has been fully met.
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 to be realistic and well-grounded in practical steps towards its goals, as indicated by already established connections and on-the-ground stewardship.
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 from the information provided that suggests the grantee is encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other malicious manipulation.
