This Week

Community Town Hall on Fri, Nov 25th

This month’s edition of the Town Hall will take place on Fri, Nov 25th at 5pm UTC in the voice chat. We’ll have an interactive Q&A followed by a quiz and a raffle, so make sure to tune in! 

Friendly Funders Weekly Update

This past week, in large part due to @Wikist's incredible work, D_D made connections with grant program managers at Data Union DAO, Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program, Flow, Orange DAO, Protocol Labs, Streamr, and Polygon Village. Most are making smaller ($5-10k) initial grants with the door open for larger support later on. Flow is making up to $50k grants for public goods (especially infrastructure, onboarding, and documentation) projects.

The next Fundraising Workshop will take place on Wed, Nov 30th, and the topic will be Present Your Path to Sustainability and Scale (Workshopping the Business Model Canvas).

Project Updates / Announcements

  • The Guild is focused at the moment on three initiatives, hoping to move them forward: supporting D_D Academy's efforts to create an educational platform, helping D_D Agency build a freelancing platform for our members, and assembling a product team that can provide advice to all projects in the DAO. If you are interested in any of these efforts, let us know, and we will provide the context and the step-by-step guidance.

  2. #️⃣points-of-contact - a read-only channel that lists the existing team of Fundraising Operators.

  3. #️⃣fundraising-general - an open-to-all channel for team communications, co-ordination, and to allow you to ask questions.

  4. #️⃣faqs-guidance - a forum that allows the Fundraising Operators to share answers to recurring questions, provide guidance, and share key resources.

  5. #️⃣workshops - a read-only channel that hosts YouTube Videos of the Fundraising Workshops.

  • To opt into the Fundraising Hub notifications 🔔 please navigate to the #️⃣project-level channel in the NOTIFICATIONS CENTER.

  • The final Town Hall of Season 1 will be held on 25th November 2022 at 5pm UTC. You decide what we talk about, so questions and topics will be crowdsourced via Slido - and you can vote for what you want to be discussed in the Town Hall 🤝. Voting ends at 12PM UTC, 24th November 2022. There will be a quiz, and a raffle where winners will get special prizes 🏆.
