Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:
I joined Gitcoin to further my commitment to innovation and disruption. I am deeply aligned with the Web3 principles of decentralization, empowerment, and transparency. I am passionate about working alongside dedicated contributors to address real-world challenges in capital allocation by leveraging technology and the expertise of our team. I am excited to step into the role of a Steward, which will allow me to engage more deeply in governance and make a meaningful impact.
ā* Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
Since early 2017, I have worked in the blockchain/Web3 space, focusing on sales and business development. Before contributing to Gitcoin, I led sales and business development for innovative blockchain and crypto companies, offering products such as a decentralized e-commerce platform, digital asset retirement solutions, and various NFT solutions for both Web2 and Web3 entities.

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining: A little late to the Steward party but my name is Jess and I have been a contributor since February 2024 as Operations Manager! To be fair, it took me some time to get fully integrated and understand my role as a Steward so now I can confidently say I am excited to be here to help move Gitcoin in the right direction. I am a regen at heart and think blockchain is the solution to transparency in basically any industry. Gitcoin has long enabled incredible projects to flourish outside of traditional funding. Being apart of something bigger than myself and identifying key areas of improvement within society is the root of my intention. Luckily, my fellow Gitcoiners have a similar focus and I am so thrilled to see what the future holds because of it!
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills: I have been in web3 since the 2019 bullrun but aside from ānumber go upā, was all too interested in the projects behind the token. After a long long stint in the music industry (corporate and as an artist), I became hyperfixated on this new era in technology. Self-sovereignty should be at the forefront of all of our minds in this day and age. I did the DeFi, GameFi thing for a bit but needed way more purpose in my day-to-day. I build new revenue streams for impact projects and make shitty house music in my spare time. TLDR: If we are not making the world a better place, whatās the point?

Introduction:
We are a team of dedicated governance enthusiasts who have been in the governance space for over four years. Our team were some of the first members involved in defi governance and we want to apply what we have learned over the years to Gitcoin. We recently partook in GG20 grants as part of the governance ecosystem delegates initiative and are looking to become more active in the community!
Core Values:
- Growth: Our decisions are primarily focused on the growth of the protocol. This often results in how to spend money efficiently, but even more importantly and objecting for unreasonable spends and knowing when to vote no.
- Transparency: Clear communication with votes and explanations of reasoning, and an equivalent demand for proposals to do the same. Too often we see thousands, if not millions, being rolled up together and glossed over during proposals.
- Accountability: Too often once a decision is done, having proper accountability becomes an afterthought. Whether itās a DAO promise or a grant or a new program, once a DAO votes something in, we forget about it. Our goal with PGov is to both continue to check in on these decisions as well as ensure that there are proper channels set up to ensure accountability.
Conflicts of Interest:
If situations arise, we will abstain from a vote, and clearly state the conflict on the forums.

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:
I believe blockchain, Web3 and decentralized finance form a vital element of our societyās transition to a more just, inclusive, equitable and resilient world.
I am particularly bullish on the capacity for these technologies to reduce inequality by removing intermediaries from the financial system and realign incentives by āfunding what matters.ā
Following on that conviction, I am excited about the nascent regenerative finance movementās thesis that impact is valuable and decentralized finance technology can be used to increase efficiency, transparency and equitability in the impact world.
GitCoin forms a key part of the ReFi ecosystem and I would be honored to be part of the organizationās governance, stemming especially from my desire to see the nonprofit/philanthropic world evolve into something capable of re-shaping the economy and society instead of reinforcing unequal, counter-productive structures underlying capitalism.
Basically I think Web3 will help us form a parallel, regenerative society and GitCoin is a keystone in that process, and I feel called to help out however I can.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
I founded the Center for Collaborative Economics, a blockchain-first organization dedicated to building infrastructure to facilitate impact, by helping nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, foundations and mutual aid organizations fund and track their impact on-chain using Web3 technologies. My role as founder falls somewhere between project manager, community liason, and business development.
Look for our multi-chain donation and impact certification platform, coming soon.
Iām a proud member of the GreenPill Dev Guild as well as an active member in other web3 impact/ReFi communities.
In my day job, I run a mutual aid public health organization serving people who use drugs, named Dubuque Harm Reduction.
My experience in the nonprofit-industrial complex has given me first-hand experience with how broken the system is- misaligned incentives, poorly-allocated funding, nepotism, corruption- and I believe Web3 tools like GitCoin hold the key to unlocking the potential contained within the system, by empowering the people and smaller community organizations who have been left out in the cold, while immense amounts of funding flow to the larger and more well-connected organizations.
On the flip-side, my nonprofit experience has given me skills and connections which would be helpful to Gitcoin, including experience with grant writing and administration, and I am fluent in bureaucrat-ese- Iām happy to serve as ānonprofit whisperer.ā

Statement of Intention / Your Values & Reasons for Joining:
My journey began with hands-on agroecological practices, where I designed and managed agroforestry systems focused on biodiversity restoration, soil health improvement, and sustainable livelihoods. This foundation was the driving force behind my work with GreenPill Brasil, where I built a community dedicated to integrating agroecology with Web3 technologies. Through GreenPill Brasil, I have facilitated workshops and sessions on decentralized governance, regenerative finance, web3 paradigms, carbon and biodiversity credits, equipping new local actors with the tools to scale their impact while ensuring environmental and financial sustainability.
With Dev Guild, I expanded these efforts by contributing to product development and operational frameworks that bridge ecological initiatives with blockchain innovations. My work on the GreenGoods app, for example, focuses on creating systems to document and reward biodiversity efforts, such as reforestation and native bee conservation, using hypercerts and on-chain validation. This app emerged from my commitment to providing scalable tools that empower grassroots movements while fostering global collaboration.
Through these roles, I have not only supported agroecological restoration but also brought decentralized funding mechanisms like quadratic funding into alignment with local projects. This integration ensures that communities benefit directly from global funding opportunities, reinforcing transparency and accountability in the process. My technical research with Silvi Protocol and Treekipedia further complements this mission by developing open-source tools that track and validate ecological restoration efforts, creating frameworks that are accessible and impactful for stakeholders worldwide. As part of the Allo Yeeter team, I contributed to creating a tool designed to streamline and optimize the funding allocation process, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and scalability. This experience allowed me to engage deeply with Allo mechanics, so im very excited to research the design space of decentralized funding allocation, while addressing the practical needs of grassroots communities and regenerative projects.
I see Gitcoin and the Allo Protocol as a unique and powerful combination for building decentralized algorithms that can truly transform how we fund public goods. As someone deeply rooted in agroecology, I believe the principles of agroecology can provide a foundational set of regenerative values, like systems thinking, diversity, resilience, sovereignty and equitable resource distribution. By integrating these principles, we can create funding mechanisms and finance structures that doesnāt exist yet.
Your Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
- Agroecological Expertise with a Regenerative Finance Lens
- Agroforestry and Biodiversity Restoration
- Community Outreach:
- Ecological Data Collection
- Product Leadership

Statement of Intention / My Values & Reasons for Joining:
My Web3 journey began over a year ago when I was tasked with adapting local rural governance into a DAO structure. What started as an exploration has evolved into a deep understanding of the transformative potential of decentralized systems. Through this process, Iāve moved from being an observer to wanting to become an active participant in the Web3 ecosystem.
Iām drawn to Gitcoin because of its role in proper capital allocation and transparent funding mechanisms. Having worked closely with rural communities, Iāve witnessed firsthand how traditional funding systems often fail to address real-world needs. I believe in becoming part of a new generation of enablers who make decisions collectively for the common good.
My core mission is to amplify the voices of those who have the will (āganasā) to create change but lack the resources or technical knowledge to access these systems. I aim to bridge the gap between innovative funding mechanisms and communities that can truly benefit from them.
Anticipated Focal Areas:
1. Education & Language Accessibility
- Bridge language barriers for Spanish-speaking communities
- Develop simplified educational content about DAOs and Web3 concepts
- Create accessible learning paths for non-technical users
2. Community Engagement & Rural Integration
- Design low-tech solutions for communities with limited internet access
- Expand WhatsApp-based tools and chatbots for grant information dissemination
- Connect rural projects with funding opportunities
3.Grants Program Accessibility
- Help communities navigate the grants application process
- Provide mentorship to first-time grant applicants
- Create simplified guides in Spanish for the Grants Stack
Web3 Qualifications / Skills:
Technical Skills:
- Bot development experience (WhatsApp chatbots for education)
- Basic Web3 technical understanding
Non-Technical Skills:
- Bilingual proficiency (Native Spanish, fluent English)
- Excellent ability to simplify complex Web3 concepts
- Community education and engagement
