The program's design, which has been predominantly shaped by Stacks community members, enables the community to play a leading role in grant funding decisions.
With the guidance of 5 Stewards and over 10 Mentors, Stacks community members make thoughtful recommendations on where, to whom, or to what funds should be allocated.
5 Core principles and values that underpin this program:
- 🏆 Collaboration and Networking: We encourage collaboration among community members, providing opportunities to network and share ideas, enhancing the collective impact of our projects.
- 🏆 Project Kickstart: Our program helps you kickstart projects by providing the necessary funding and human resource support, enabling innovative ideas to come to life much faster.
- 🏆 Transparency: Our public engagement and transparent decision-making process ensure clear visibility into how grants are evaluated and approved, promoting fairness and trust.
- 🏆 Inclusivity: We welcome all proposals, regardless of current ecosystem trends or priorities, in order to foster diversity and creativity in ideas.
- 🏆 Community-Centric: Guided by community stewards, we prioritize the grassroots needs and aspirations of our community.
