/publicgoods3514

A place to discuss infrastructure and initiatives that serve the greater good

Check the latest on @octant with the new tracker:
- Who's part of the community and donating how much?
- How much is Octant's matching amount based on donations to projects?

If more builders are aware of funding opportunities, we'll have higher quality projects building everywhere. 🤩
if you are:

- are a public good
- building on @celo
- deserve more funds

Our first $1,000,000 Glo Dollar purchase! 🎉

The Mento Reserve just converted $1 million into @glodollar to support impactful projects building on @celo

Mento is leading the way in zero-cost philanthropy, opening up ~$40,000/year in funds for initiatives like Plastiks, GoodDollar, and Regens Unite. 
Imagine if 10 more organizations did the same—we’d unlock half a million in funding for public goods and charities, at no cost to them.

Big thanks to the Mento team + everyone who voted in favor of the proposal.
Vote for Giveth, so we can keep building for public goods. 🌹

We need to create more ways to allocate community capital

Funding public goods is downstream of funding and building more efficient ways to allocate our collective capital
really good answers and most of them unique

should we be working on specific PGF mechanisms for each?

what public goods are not being funded enough?
Do you care about growing the pie for public goods funding? Join the Grownation in our collective effort to create sustainable funding for those who need help scaling impact🌱 https://t.me/GrowNetworkxyz
There is too big of a disconnect between those who are paid to fund public goods and those of us who are not

We need to close to the gap by being transparent about our incentives

Impact should be the primary focus, not leverage or influence
Wanted to boost this to the /publicgoods crew. We have a huge fellowship (with a $20k stipend, mentorship from some smart folks and more!!) for people thinking about what’s next ™ for community-owned rollups, and I’d love for some socially-minded nerds (devs and non-devs) to get involved!
