2 years ago Hi @angelespinoza -
We have identified the projects we will be awarding grants as part of Stacks Foundation Grants Program Cohort 18. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your project was not among those selected.
This is no way means that we do not see the value of the work you proposed. We're lucky to have so many talented independent researchers, developers, and community leaders like yourself building on Stacks. Unfortunately, we receive many more proposals than we can actually fund with our limited means, so competition is extremely tough. While we generally support innovation in all forms, we tend to prioritize projects that have the potential to advance and differentiate the broader ecosystem from other blockchains, as well as projects that meet critical needs of the community at the time. These constraints mean that in several instances, several excellent projects may not make it into a cohort.
We very much appreciate the time and effort you've put into this process and encourage you to continue watching this repo and consider submitting a new application if and when you feel your project better aligns with the current priorities of the Grants Program.
If you should have any questions, please let us know in the comment section below.
Best, Will Stacks Foundation Grants Program Manager

GRANT MISSION, IMPACT, RISKS & REFERENCE
Grant Mission: In Latin America there are currently 25 million crypto users, and growing, most of them speak Spanish, not to mention that it is one of the fastest growing regions in crypto adoption according to Chainnalisis. There is a great market potential to extend the dissemination of Stacks content in Spanish and start sharing events in Spanish to add new people to the community.
The proposal of the grant is share content in Spanish about Stacks and laying the groundwork for a future Stacks Latam chapter .
The Grant will focus on the following:
For crypto users:
For builders and creators:
We are very confident we can lay the groundwork for more people in LATAM to become interested in Stacks, but mainly create new products here.
Grant Impact: Monthly for 3 months:
And add At least 300 new hiro wallet users.
Grant Risks: The main risk is not finding acceptance in the shared content but I believe that with the right allies we can support and onboard not only new users but also new projects. It is likely that we will require some direct support from Stacks at the level of dissemination in their official channels.
Support Link: In this pitch deck you cand find more about my experience and also references for this grant. I shared some examples about content I've been creating, my previous support to Stacks ecosystem in Spanish and the experience in the local community that I' ll replicate and improve to growth STX community
