Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
As per the project description, the Barichara Regeneration Fund has been active for at least several rounds of funding, implying it has existed 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's aim to regenerate a unique ecosystem through various methods, such as agroforestry and reforestation, directly relates to climate solutions and implies a reduction in GHG emissions through increased carbon sequestration.
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 has provided a detailed progress report, indicating how previous funding rounds have facilitated the advancement of regenerative projects in the region of Barichara.
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 proposal includes information on previous accomplishments, and while it is not explicit about lessons learned, it outlines the continued development of local projects and sharing of knowledge, which suggests a progression and utilization of lessons learned. However, a rough timeline is not clearly stated within the provided information.
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 demonstrates credibility with a record of previous funding and progress. It has realistic goals related to ecological restoration, which align with web3 technology applications for monitoring and documenting ecological health, indicating a genuine intent to build and develop the project further.
