$250,000 of Funding for Public Goods
How it works
Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF) is a novel funding mechanism designed to sustainably support projects that deliver significant public good.
Unlike traditional grants, RPGF allocates funds retroactively, rewarding projects that have already demonstrated positive impact. The process begins with the clear identification of criteria that define a public good.
Funding allocation is then determined through a voting process involving a diverse set of community delegates who ensure that funds are directed towards initiatives that have already delivered real impact to the community.
