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 provided information does not specify the date of creation for 'The Solar Foundation & GoodDollar: Solar + UBI to Empower Women in Uganda' project. Further investigation into public records such as the website's domain registration and the project's Twitter creation date is needed to determine the project's age.
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. - Examples include: Renewable Energy, Oracles & DMRV, Supply Chain Analysis, Carbon Accounting, climate activists / collectives, Natural Systems CO2 Sequestration
The project is focused on renewable energy, specifically solar energy solutions, to provide sustainable electricity and digital connectivity for underserved communities, thereby addressing climate change and reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions.
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. - We encourage grantees to mint Hypercerts for the work and the impact they have accomplished. Priority review will be given to grantees who have minted a Hypercert.
The information provided does not indicate whether the project has received funding in previous rounds and thus if an update on progress and impact is applicable. Without specific details on prior funding and the resulting milestones or any mention of Hypercerts, it cannot be determined if this criterion is met.
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 description provided lacks information on whether the project is a returning grantee and thus whether an updated proposal detailing lessons learned, the use of additional funding, and a project timeline is required. Additional context on the project's funding history is necessary for a conclusive assessment.
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. - Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
The project appears to be viable, leveraging blockchain technology to create an ecosystem for renewable energy and financial inclusion. The team showcases collaboration with established partners like GoodDollar and Ayowecca Uganda, which supports their credibility and intentions.
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 regarding the involvement of the project in Sybil attacks or malicious manipulations of the grants platform. Without evidence to the contrary, it can't be determined if the project violates this requirement.
