Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project has been operational for more than 3 months as evidenced by reporting on progress from the Gitcoin GG18 funds.
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 directly tied to climate solutions, emphasizing beekeeping education and practices which can enhance pollination, biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture, contributing to climate resilience and potentially reducing 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.
The project has provided detailed updates on the use of Gitcoin funds, including the development of an online platform, the creation of open-source educational materials, research collaborations, and establishing partnerships and a network of mentors.
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's updated proposal includes plans for future use of funds such as the enhancement of their online platform, community outreach, research, and partnerships, indicating an understanding of previous experiences and a clear direction for future development.
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 appears to be credible and viable, documented through detailed reporting and a clear outline of planned operations, goals, and community impact. Despite not focusing on web3 technology, the initiative seems to be within the realm of practical climate solutions.
