GITCOIN Grant: Donate a Few Tokens, Send A DWeb Fellow to Camp
Dear DWeb Community, The current web has been failing all of us, but it has failed some more than others.
We believe to build a truly decentralized Web, those who work with and for under-resourced communities must be supported.Â
That’s why we created the DWeb Fellows program. Our Fellowship program supports people who are not only imagining a better web but are building it — for and alongside marginalized populations. Starting today, make a small donation through Gitcoin and have an enormous impact for DWeb Fellows, through Gitcoin’s quadratic funding.Â
When you donate tokens to this Gitcoin grant, they will go directly to paying the cost of travel, accommodations, and Camp registration for DWeb Fellows from around the world.
Quadratic funding rewards the number of community members who give, along with the amount. So many small donations can really have an enormous impact. When you donate even $1 worth of crypto to the DWeb Fellowships, it can result in $3-400+ from the matching pool.
HOW TO DONATE:
-
First you’ll need to create or log in your Github account.Â
-
Use that account to authorize in to Gitcoin. Â
-
Choose our gitcoin grant here:  DWeb Camp Fellowships
-
You’ll need a crypto wallet like Metamask or Rainbow Wallet with some Ethereum or other tokens.
-
Select how much you want to donate. (For example: .003 ETH = about $5.00 US)
-
Do you want to also add some money to the matching pool? Be sure to set an amount in that field as well.
-
Hit the “I’m Ready to Checkout” button.
-
In the Drop Down, pick Standard Checkout, Polygon or zkSync.
-
Connect and log in to your crypto wallet to pay.
-
You can build trust by verifying your identity by creating a Gitcoin Passport to maximize the matching funds (up to 150%).
-
The more people who give, the greater the percentage of the matching pool we receive.
