Hello Reader,

The deadline for submitting a Q2 project proposal is tomorrow!

This is your opportunity to get involved in MoonDAO by receiving a small grant and working on a concrete goal for the quarter.

The proposal maximum budget is $4,682.

These grants are intended to support people that are working on things that support our mission to create a sustained human presence on the moon, this can be in the form of research, education, inspiration, or small seed funding for engineering projects.

You have 24 hours to submit!

Here is the proposal submission template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p8rV9RlvFk6nAJzWh-tvroyPvasjjrvgKpyX8ibGX3I/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.piq12i6l9hzn

After completing the template you can submit here: https://moondao.com/proposals​

Tune in to our Town Hall tomorrow at 3pm ET for more details of the process. We'll also have a demo day and final report presentations from completed Q1 projects, and monthly updates from our ongoing projects. This will give you a great chance to learn what types of projects MoonDAO has funded in the past and what they're working on.

Rewards for Independent Work

We also have a pool of funds set aside to reward independent, mission-aligned work that has been completed during Q1. Yes, this could be anything that helped MoonDAO or advances our multi-planetary mission. This could be related to your participation in events, research, outreach, etc.

Here's how it works:

1. ​Submit details of what you did and its impact by April 15. The work should have already been completed during Q1, between Jan 1 - Mar 31 and not something planned for the future. Be sure to add proof of work with links or photos or documentation.
2. Our senators will review your work and distribute a percent of the reward pool to each individual based on the perceived impact of their work.
3. Once final calculations are made, we distribute ETH and vMOONEY voting power to individuals.

You've got until April 15th to submit your independent contributions for Q1, and until April 9th to submit your project proposal for Q2. Let's go!
