Introduction

Hello, Gitcoin community! I'm thinkDecade, a passionate advocate for public goods and a dedicated contributor to the Gitcoin ecosystem. Over the past months, I've been deeply involved in promoting the Gitcoin's ideals, engaging with various communities, and driving initiatives aimed at fostering public goods funding, with a special focus on empowering frontier places such as Africa.

Work x Impact

Education and awareness

During and after GG19, I hosted and cohosted several X spaces to educate and inform the masses about Gitcoin. I hosted 13 different spaces on the let’sGROW live account during GG19. I also hosted and cohosted 5 different spaces on the Public Good Africa X account, all aimed at empowering people to become donors, and helping projects understand key Gitcoin concepts and processes.

Community& IRL Workshops

I conducted workshops in and with many web3 communities focused on guiding community members in navigating the Gitcoin ecosystem. These workshops were designed to streamline the onboarding experience, ensuring that members could seamlessly participate in the diverse and vibrant activities within the Gitcoin community. I hosted various discussions in communities such as Public Good Africa, ETHAccra, Defi Africa and others to help educate community members on the importance of Gitcoin and how they can get involved such as setting up Gitcoin Passport and donating.

Running Grant Rounds x Supporting Impactful Projects

During GG19, I was a round operator for an Independent round focused on the African continent. The round feature projects making a significant impact on the African continent. It was also the first round in the history of Gitcoin focused on Africa during a Grant season. The round was a resounding success that featured impact projects and brought many donors into the Gitcoin space.

Thank you for considering this proposal. My journey with Gitcoin, underscored by the successful management of the independent round during GG19 and various community-centric initiatives, represents my commitment to fostering public goods and my dedication to leveraging the Gitcoin platform to create a tangible impact, especially within the African continent. This retroactive grant support would acknowledge the efforts and successes achieved thus far and empower me to continue my mission of building a more inclusive, empowered, and impactful ecosystem.
