Projects must be at least 3 months old. We use Twitter, web domain registration date, and other public info to determine this. Newer projects should establish themselves and submit to the next round.
A Project/Organization may only submit one project to the round.
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. For each type of climate solution project, including data and specific measurement plans will enhance your application.Your project should be part of one of these categories of Climate Solutions that CCN has identified:
- Renewable Energy
- Oracles & dMRV
- Carbon Accounting
- Climate Activism/Education
- Nature-Based Solutions
- Ocean-Based Solutions
- Climate Adaptation/Climate Resilience
- Supply Chain solutions
- Built Environment/Transportation
Grantees who received funding in a previous round(s) must provide a new update on their progress and impact. You can also include the challenges you've faced. This will ensure accountability to supporters and also help encourage contributors by showing what you’ve been accomplishing.
- You can use our newly published Climate Solutions Metrics Garden for inspiration and guidance on ways to measure your project’s impact.
- We encourage grantees to mint [Hypercerts](https://hypercerts.org/) impact claims with a description of your projects impact goals.
- We also encourage grantee to register their project on [Karma GAP](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/) and add milestones for your near term goals.
- Priority review will be given to grantees who utilize these tools.
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 must indicate how additional funding will help the project meet its upcoming goals, and include a project roadmap of the next year for the project overall.
All projects are required to be within the **“realm of viability”,** meaning ****they should be realistically achievable within the given conditions and resources and by the people submitting the project.
Projects are expected to be practical and capable of succeeding based on current circumstances, knowledge and technology.
- Even if a project is early, it must still seem credible to the average person with an understanding of web3 technology and climate solutions. Including information about the team's expertise, qualifications and skills will help us review your grant.
- Grantee founders must genuinely intend to build the project, and the project must not broadly be considered an impossibility.
Grantees can be eliminated from consideration in the round if they are found to be encouraging or enabling Sybil attacks or other forms of malicious manipulation of the grants platform or the Gitcoin community.
All Grantee must meet the Gitcoin General Eligibility Critertia: https://gitcoin.notion.site/Gitcoin-General-Elgibility-Criteria-0d28526cf6f04d6aa4aeba8dc1192afa?pvs=4
