25% ETH of each PlacesDAO drop proceeds are directed via contract to a unique neighborhood treasury for disbursement to local projects that benefit the public. In this manner PlacesDAO aims to invest back into the communities that make it a joy to go out and explore.

Some ideas we are excited about:

• Public art that celebrates Places

• Wayfinding signage that feature Places

• Parks and recreation projects

• Journalism and stories about Places

• Local guides and navigation

• Location-based games that use Places

Grant Requirements

• Must benefit the public community of the given neighborhood treasury (i.e., Brooklyn Treasury grants should go toward projects and endeavors that benefit the residents of Brooklyn or Brooklyn's local business community)
• If IRL = projects must benefit or be open to the general public
• If digital = projects must be made open source wherever possible
• 501c3 non-profit status is 💯 but not required

Grant Proposal Process

While PlacesDAO is in its infancy, the formal process and contracts for neighborhood grant applications, community voting, and funding are still in the works. No neighborhood treasury funds will be disbursed until our process is formalized. The following principles will guide our treasury grant development:

• Informal proposals are encouraged in the PlacesDAO Discord
• Formal proposals will require the support of at least 5% of Placehodlers
• Voting and funding will occur on-chain

Applications

When PlacesDAO is ready to begin accepting formal proposals, the following information will be required:
