Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project 'Urbanika & the Climate Positive Traveling School' has provided updates from the past round and details about the purchase and planning for the bus, which suggest the project has been underway for more than 3 months.
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 centers around transforming a bus into a climate-positive mobile showcase for sustainable technology and a school for neighborhood coordination, directly targeting the improvement of climate solutions.
Grantees who received funding in previous rounds should report on project progress since GR15 or the Alpha & Beta rounds. We understand that some projects may have less progress given the timing of Alpha & Beta round disbursements. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
The project provides comprehensive updates on the outcomes since the previous rounds, including the purchase of the bus, forming a foundation, creating new courses, forming alliances, and pre-validating a pilot neighborhood.
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 shown progress updates, outlined a contest for choosing an architect, described the design and transformation process for the bus, included planning for neighborhood training, and provided goals for the season with a rough timeline for activities.
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 has a practical approach to climate solutions through web3 technology integration and has demonstrated a genuine effort in progressing towards its goals. Its focus on community engagement and using a converted bus as a mobile climate-positive unit is innovative yet within the realm of viability.
