Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The CIM project was founded more than ten years ago, in 2012, which satisfies the requirement of being at least 3 months old.
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 description indicates work on socio-environmental rights and protection of Mother Earth, which aligns with climate action. However, it is not clear how the project will directly contribute to the reduction of GHGs or function as core infrastructure for web3 climate solutions based on the information provided.
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.
No information is provided in the project description about previous funding through Gitcoin or reporting on progress since any specific rounds, thus it is uncertain whether this criterion is met.
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.
There are no details provided that indicate whether the CIM has received previous grants from Gitcoin or provided an update on their proposal with lessons learned and planned use for additional funds, including a rough timeline.
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 CIM project appears to be credible and has a history of practical engagements and accomplishments supporting indigenous communities and environmental causes, suggesting a genuine intention to build and maintain the project. However, how the project relates specifically to web3 technology is not entirely clear from the provided description.
