2 years ago Hi @davidpco -
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: We're a group of cryptonative builders focused on creating a public good for ecosystems we believe in, and want Stacks to succeed.
We operate a web3 community of builders looking for new opportunities and would be thrilled to have a bit of budget to focus on directing people to Stacks projects.
The benefit to the ecosystem is simple. We go find great people from outside the ecosystem and plug them into promising projects, powering growth.
Grant Impact: Number of devs placed in Stacks projects ++ designers and community builders.
Grant Risks: The risks are low. We're currently partnered with Arweave and Ethereum based projects but don't have more bandwidth to support Stacks without a bit of budget to expand our capability. We're good at what we do and operate on a shoestring budget.
