Giveth proposes to launch three Aragon-specific Quadratic Funding Rounds focused on supporting, as well as attracting builders and innovators within the Aragon ecosystem. Beyond just distributing funds, Quadratic Funding has proven to produce viral marketing campaigns, and this proposal hopes to bring this impact to the Aragon Ecosystem. To pull off this effort, incentivizing decentralized Aragon development and marketing the Aragon Ecosystem, Giveth seeks 295,000 USDC to fund and operate these 3 Aragon specific QF rounds. \~80% of the funds will be given directly to Aragon builders, the other 20% will be used run marketing campaigns, operate the rounds, and complete the required sybil analysis.
Project Name: Quadratic Funding Rounds for Builders
Introduction: Giveth has been a friend of the Aragon Ecosystem since the very beginning. We collaborated with Aragon to create the ANT token and run the Aragon ICO. We also for 6 months ran an Aragon Dev team called the Aragon DAC and we have been using several Aragon DAOs on several chains still to this day.
Giveth’s primary product is an open-source web3 donation platform that operates on Ethereum Mainnet, Gnosis Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Ethereum Classic, and Celo, We provide a seamless P2P crowdfunding experience, free from fees and intermediaries. We are a hub for nearly three thousand individuals and initiatives, all geared towards building public goods and we have recently added Quadratic Funding (QF) to the platform.
QF is not your average grant program. While most grant programs can only give the funding that they have, QF incentivizes the community to pitch in and help to fund the development they want to see. It is not uncommon to see rounds where there is about as much donated as there are funds in the matching pool. Not only does QF attract more funding, but it also unleashes a viral marketing campaign, where the projects themselves are incentivized to get loud about their work and promote themselves and, in this case, Aragon, to anyone that will give them $1.
We are proposing to run 3 Aragon-specific Quadratic Funding Rounds in the coming year of 2024. These rounds, starting with a $25,000 matching pool, will escalate in size, culminating with a $150,000 round. This is designed to amplify engagement and attract a new wave of developers to Aragon's DAO ecosystem. The network effect that this will bring to Aragon’s open source development can’t be understated. Each round will be intentionally curated by the Giveth team with support from Aragon core team members. This effort is not intended to fund DAOs that are USING Aragon, but instead fund developers that are BUILDING with the Aragon tech stack.

This started well before the retreat via @SnakeGH & myself. Rodri is already doing the designs
Objective: Get Money for QF
For context putting a screenshot of the discussion and proposal we had during GIVconnect.

@laurenluz @GriffGreen , since you have been leading the effort of getting the QF matching pool funds, can you help me with all the information you have, the pitch you used, and any deck or document you used while pitching/proposing to Optimism and Polygon for QF matching pool. It will just help to get a headstart on this.
