# Foundations Survey

1. What kind of grants programs do you have (eg. "normal" such as web3 foundation grants, treasury, tips, bounties, bug bounties, educational...)?

2. Up to how much funding do you give per project? 

3. What kind of projects would you like to fund (eg. infra, wallets, defi...)?

4. Where does friction occur in your grants process? 

5. Would you like to receive more or less applications? 

6. How relevant are the proposals submitted from the teams? 

7. Do the proposers often missunderstand something about the grant application process? If so then, what? 

8. What are your evaluation factors? 

9. What mainly influences your decision to grant funding? 

10. Which criteria do you use to evaluate a submitted proposal?  

- how does an applicant build credibility with your foundation and what would that credibility be?


11. What kind of information would you like to see in a submission summary? 


12. What kind of background information would you like to have on a team when they apply (eg. previous funding, success rate...)? 

13. How many projects have applied for each grants program? 

14. How many projects have successfully delivered their milestones? 

15. If teams didn't deliver, why did that usually happen? 

16. Did you have teams trying to scam the treasury? If so, in what way? 

17. What kind of features would you like to see implemented in a grants aggregator website?

18. How do you evaluate milestone deliveries? Which factors do you take into consideration? 


20. What is the schedule of your grants process? Do you pay up front to approved grants or do you pay after deivered milestones?

21. What is the typical amount awarded to a grant applicant?

22. Would you like to be able to vote and/or award grants through an Ordum UI or would you prefer to do this via Subsquare / Polkassembly?  

Question for on-chain treasuries without councils (eg Kusama GOV2): 

- who evaluates the submission proposal? The community? How do we credit the team that did or did not deliver? Do they vote on it again? or is this just dependent on the outcome of the new proposal?
