Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project was established in 2018, which makes it over 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 focuses on organic farming and agroforestry, which are sustainable practices that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and can sequester carbon.
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 reported on past activities since GG18, detailing the number of trees planted, support provided to students, and other investments made.
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 has outlined new goals indicating what they intend to accomplish with additional funding, though a detailed rough timeline is not explicitly mentioned.
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 is practicing established techniques of sustainable agriculture with a focus on organic farming and agroforestry, which are credible and viable methods for climate solutions.
