This round focuses on *individuals only*. Multiple individuals are not allowed to submit as one team submission. We invite collaborators on one effort to submit grant proposals individually, detailing what and how they personally contributed. Please indicate in the title of the grant the name of the individual Gitcoin Citizen this grant submission is rewarding.
Work should contribute directly to Gitcoin’s Essential Intents and/or the Ecosystem Collective’s focus areas.
Essential intents: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/update-gitcoin-s-ratified-essential-intents-2023-2024-and-a-recap-of-our-successes/16818
Ecosystem Collective: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/introducing-gitcoin-s-ecosystem-collective/17954
The Grant proposal should explicitly outline how you supported Gitcoin. Some (non-exhaustive) examples:
- educational content, eg. a guide on how to donate on our platform
- promotional content, eg running a twitter space to cover our rounds
- data analysis, eg. a data analysis of previous donations
- operations, eg. running a grants round
- governance, eg. adding meaningful contributions to the forum discussions
- community support, eg. helping out users in our discord
- platform and protocol dev, eg. pull requests or standalone add-ons
This round will focus on retroactive work only, i.e. work delivered in the past. For planned work, go to http://gitcoin.co/citizens. Only one proposal is allowed per grantee.
All submissions should outline the impact of their work, by referencing all captured data (e.g. viewers, forks, branches, listeners of a twitter space, posts written and number of likes and views.) The submission should include proof of impact, including links to where the work was delivered and received (e.g, content creation needs supporting usage analytics, governance participation should have relevant links to gov posts, individual involvement in a collective effort should have specific dates, links to Twitter space, or recordings.)
The proof of impact should show that the effort was well-received. Low or minimal impact efforts will not qualify. Examples of these include bug reports with minimal impact, non-strategic comments on the governance forum, translations of gitcoin content and other communication efforts which can easily be automated (AI, Google translate).
Grantees cannot be paid twice by Gitcoin for the same work, so any and all work that is submitted should be outside of the scope of Citizens Innovate, Forward or any other contracted work.

The video https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5aNc7yO-dra2Rpy3Hyfi1Q was uploaded a week ago with no viewers. Besides, the video refers to old websites of Gitcoin, WTFisQF, and Passport and was probably recorded many months back. Qualifying impact doesn't exist.

The YouTube Videos appear to be brand new. The impact is minimal at this time. Might qualify in future rounds.

All videos have been uploaded one day ago (post-application deadline) and have zero views. This seems to fall under the low impact rule and I think we will have to refuse this application.

Work should contribute directly to Gitcoin’s Essential Intents and/or the Ecosystem Collective’s focus areas.
The project Ursa and Gitcoin aligns with Gitcoin’s Essential Intents by creating educational and promotional content that supports the Gitcoin ecosystem, specifically by making the Gitcoin Passport accessible to Hindi speakers.
The Grant proposal should explicitly outline how you supported Gitcoin.
The project description clearly outlines support for Gitcoin by translating articles and creating media content to educate and promote Gitcoin’s services to the Hindi-speaking community.
This round will focus on retroactive work only, i.e. work delivered in the past. For planned work, go to http://gitcoin.co/citizens. Only one proposal is allowed per grantee.
The grant application specifies that it is for videos already uploaded, indicating past work. The project appears to focus on retroactive contributions, fitting the criterion for past delivered work.
All submissions should outline the impact of their work, by referencing all captured data (e.g. viewers, forks, branches, listeners of a twitter space, posts written and number of likes and views.) The submission should include proof of impact, including links to where the work was delivered and received (e.g, content creation needs supporting usage analytics, governance participation should have relevant links to gov posts, individual involvement in a collective effort should have specific dates, links to Twitter space, or recordings.)
The submission mentions the creation of videos and translation work, but does not provide specific data or proof of impact such as viewership numbers, likes, or engagement metrics. Without this information, the impact of the project cannot be fully evaluated.
The proof of impact should show that the effort was well-received. Low or minimal impact efforts will not qualify. Examples of these include bug reports with minimal impact, non-strategic comments on the governance forum, translations of gitcoin content and other communication efforts which can easily be automated (AI, Google translate).
The effectiveness of the contributions in terms of reception by the community cannot be assessed because specific metrics or anecdotal evidence of the community's reception is not provided in the project description.
Grantees cannot be paid twice by Gitcoin for the same work, so any and all work that is submitted should be outside of the scope of Citizens Innovate, Forward or any other contracted work.
There is no indication in the project description that the work has been previously compensated by Gitcoin under any other program, suggesting that the work is eligible under this requirement.

The project title 'Ursa and Gitcoin' does not specify the name of an individual Gitcoin Citizen; rather it suggests a collaboration or an initiative name. This does not meet the requirement for individual submissions.
