Projects must be at least 3 months old. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
The project description indicates that Kula has been operational for the past six months, fulfilling 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.
Kula's initiatives such as the Sacred Sanctuaries and partnerships that promote biodiversity, regenerative agricultural practices, and carbon sequestration are outlined in the proposal, indicating a primary focus on 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.
There is no information provided about whether Kula received funding in previous rounds or about progress reporting since the specified rounds, so it is uncertain whether this requirement has been 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.
The project update includes details on new locations, partnerships, territorial and bioregional narratives, and community feedback. Additionally, the proposal explains how additional funding will be used for strategic development, network expansion, project acceleration, and progress tracking, along with a rough timeline for project goals.
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.
Kula demonstrates a multi-faceted approach to climate solutions that appears credible and feasible, with a focus on community engagement, regenerative practices, and infrastructure that is aligning with the realm of viability and current trends in web3 and climate solutions.
