# QF for CO ## Desired Outcomes for Pilot **Learning Objectives** * What are the opportunities and pain points for this method of funding for State and Local governments? Is this a viable option for grant allocation and future public/private partnerhsips? **OIT/ColoradoJam** * Generate interest in other departments of Colorado to run quadratic funding experiments **QFATTDao (Working Title)** * Case study to launch QFATTDao + Membership Drive * 5 Key Delegates (Examples: GitCoinDAO, Nathan Schneider, Glen Weyl, Balaji Srinivasan) * Apply and secure addtional 100k in funding for operations and program development. ## Pilot Materials + Costs * **Matching Pool.** These are the funds that will match contributions in a quadratic manner; see https://wtfisqf.com/. * **Operations Headcount.** While this depends on the program we run, we anticipate a minimum of 2 individuals dedicated to outreach, voting support, project & proposal assessment, etc. * **Projects / Proposals to Fund** * These will be County or Municipality-submitted * Suggestion: Run micro-rounds per county. Setting 1 county against another wouldn't be beneficial. * Could possibly experiment w/ weighing different geographic regions so the broader the geographic support, the stronger the weight ## Pilot Strategies ### Targeted pilot for MyColoradoID penetration into neighborhoods, populations etc ### Allocate ~3% of American Recovery Act Budget Democratize allocation of a small portion of the American Recovery Act budget where every voter in Colorado uses MyColoradoID to vote on how the ARA funds are allocated. ### Public Funds for Public Goods Raise $250k for public goods, pick 2-3 municipalities, let the public allocate funds. ## Time Commitent & Timeline Necessary to determine weekly time commitment and overall timeline. EthDenver 2022 was mentioned as the ultimate target. ## Budget Currently everyone present has committed 3-5 hours a month to developing leads and projects for free. Actual labor costs to build this are not unsubstantial. Will be important to see how this might split up between Gitcoin, ColoradoJam, etc.

Community.XYZ Opportunity Template + Example

Important Note Below is an exhaustive list of what might be necessary for someone new to your project to start work! Not everything listed below will be necessary for every job, and so add/remove/edit depending on what makes sense for the work you want accomplished! Keep in mind though, that the more details you include, the faster the work gets done, and the less time you have to spend answering questions from folks who need some help getting started. Also consider that about half of this is write-once, use on every opportunity! So be sure to save a boiler-plate version of your Opportunity template to reuse as you need more work done. Description Example: Verto is a decentralized PST exchange. [Insert why this is an exciting project here, and why they would want to earn PSTs for the Verto Community]. We need help implementing PST/PSC detection on the front-end of the Verto app. This will [explain in broader terms what it’s going to do to increase value of product and PST]. Revelant Links

Meta Gamma Delta DragonCon Submission

Name of Project* WOMEN DEFI-YING THE DEFI SPACE Project Description* As the Alpha class of MGD, we wanted to participate in this hackathon to support MetaCartel,as well as work on this as our first official "class project"! We found ourselves asking, how much do we know about DeFi and is it possible to encourage more women to take hold of their financial future and put their assets in DeFi? As a DAO, we assumed that when comparing users identifying as male compared to users identifying as female participating in DeFi dapps, there would be significantly less women. According to the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance, there is a significant gender gap when it comes to Bitcoin financial literacy. Women tend to have a weaker knowledge regarding Bitcoin characteristics compared to men and have less of an actual understanding of financial literacy when it comes to cryptocurrency opportunities. While this is specific to Bitcoin, we believe these stats can most likely be applied to Ethereum and other blockchains as well, implying that there is a need for female focused DeFi dapp usage campaigns. We are lucky to have members directly involved in the DeFi space so we thought...why don't we break it down using our experience and highlight a women led project In the space. This submission acts as both a research guide and as inspo for women interested in learning aboutDeFi and/or buidling a DeFi dapp.
