Big Green’s community-led grantmaking continues in 2025 with three new rounds of unrestricted funding. Grants Rounds 8, 9, and 10 will be rolled out quarterly, and as always, the DAO Community will lead the way in shaping how those funds are distributed. From deciding how much of the treasury to use to determining grant size and eligibility, your voice drives this work.
The Big Green DAO periodically opens grant opportunities to nonprofit organizations working to grow food. We've made our application fast and streamlined to cut down the time spent in a grant portal.
When a grant cycle opens, each member of the Community votes on how much of the Treasury will be used, eligibility, and who should receive grants and how much the grant should be. Grants are awarded based on optimized consensus to reflect the majority perspective of the Community.
Successful grantees are awarded an unrestricted grant, Community membership, and a token to participate in future votes. The Community engages in peer-to-peer learning, DAO-facilitated education and professional development, and supports one another in helping more people grow food.
Join us May 13 at 1pm (PST) / 4pm (EST) for the GR8 Grant Writers Workshop. Big Green DAO Committee members and successful grantees will share what makes an application stand out.
