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 project website and provided information indicate a history of activities and updates that suggest the project is at least 3 months old.
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 explicitly outlines its contribution to climate solutions, focusing on Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and the verification of small-scale impact which aligns with renewable energy and carbon accounting activities.
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 application includes detailed updates on progress, including co-hosting a ReFi event, development of an Adaptive Agroforestry Methodology, and continuation of RegenID development, indicating accountability and impact since the last funding round.
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 grant proposal includes updates on the project's progress, outlines lessons learned such as the need for Bioregional + Biome Guidelines and Agroforestry Points, and describes how additional funding will be used to further develop and pilot the Adaptive Agroforestry & Smallholder Stewardship methodology.
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 team's expertise appears credible and includes backgrounds in blockchain, environmental technology, and community engagement which supports the project's viability. The project itself employs web3 technologies for climate solutions, positioning it within the realm of viability.
