Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The provided information does not include the specific start date or duration of existence for the 'BFF (Beyond Fossil Fuels) - Stand Strong for Wet'suwet'en Yintah' project. Without this information, it cannot be determined if the project meets the age criterion.
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 aims to prevent the construction of a significant fossil fuel infrastructure project which by its nature would prevent the associated GHG emissions that come from fossil fuel extraction and consumption. This aligns with the requirement for a project to reduce GHGs.
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.
There is insufficient information provided to assess whether the BFF project received previous funding rounds or if they have submitted a progress report as required for projects that did receive funding.
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 information provided does not clarify whether 'BFF (Beyond Fossil Fuels) - Stand Strong for Wet'suwet'en Yintah' is a returning grantee. If the project is returning, there is no detail provided on an updated proposal including lessons learned, funding usage, and a timeline. Thus, it is uncertain if they meet this criterion.
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.
While the project is not directly related to web3 technology, it challenges existing fossil fuel infrastructure which is a viable and credible endeavor in the context of climate solutions. The intention to legally challenge the establishment of a fossil fuel pipeline and to hold governments accountable to climate commitments seems genuine and feasible, thus fitting within the 'realm of viability'.
