For GG23 (March 2025) I was hoping to fiscally sponsor community organizers who want to do QF/Retro Funding/Participatory budgeting rounds in their local communities.
After reviewing the applications and engaging with various round operators, here are the rounds I would be interested to fund
| Name | Organizer | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| RefiMediterranean | Regen Avocado | $5k |
| Regen Rio De Janeiro | Caue, Diogo, Athus, Luisa | $5k |
| Regen Coordination | Monty | $5k |
| Web3 for universities | Karla + Ifeanyi | $5k |
| Neighborhood software | Cabin | $5k |
These selections are contingent on the rounds actually running during GG23.
Excited for the future of Ethereum Localism
Ethereum Localism refers to the use of Web3 tools and infrastructure to empower local communities, municipalities, and bioregions, enabling decentralized funding flows, civic innovation, and regenerative economics. By supporting these initial localized funding rounds, we aim to lay the groundwork for a larger, decentralized network of local communities and projects empowered by aligned methodologies and Ethereum infrastructure. If successful, these pilots will not only demonstrate the potential of Web3-powered local economies, but also catalyze broader investment and adoption of Ethereum-based solutions in real-world communities.
