Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project has been working on various campaigns for over 25 years, clearly exceeding the minimum age requirement of 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 is described as being focused on developing strategic climate solutions through campaigns and collaboration with various groups to increase climate action and awareness, which are directly related to climate solutions. However, the project description does not detail specific initiatives related to GHG reduction or core infrastructure for web3-related 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 provided updates on their progress since the previous funding rounds, indicating ongoing development and activities related to their climate action campaigns.
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 update mentions ongoing work and previous grants but does not provide specific information about lessons learned or a detailed plan for how additional funding will be used. An updated proposal with these details was not provided.
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's long-term existence and active engagement in climate campaigns demonstrate credibility and viability. The description suggests genuine intent to continue building on their mission, even though specific web3 technology applications are not explicitly outlined. The project does not come across as an impossibility.
