Even though I am not a regular user here, I just joined this month, and am a bit confused about how DAOs are always funded this way and that. When going through some of the proposals, I was like, “What if NF stops the grants program?” That means a lot of DAOs are gone and stopped working because they don’t have any sustainability structure or good revenue model to run their engagement without being dependent.

Okay, you just came Yesterday, but what if you bring a sustainability idea to help the ecosystem. Instead of saying the same thing everyone is saying,
I would love to see you write a proposal to build project on NEAR without requesting fund needed… and pls make sure the Value is up to $5k

It is not about needing a fund to start a project; it is about the sustainability of the project after receiving the fund, letting the project run the other subsequent activities without having to come back for funding again. Am working on one to drop it lol
Tell me where NF was complaining about supporting Funding DAO to support artiste to build the Ecosystem…
If fund stops, it stops…
If everyone of us here could do it independently, won’t pay attention here I’m sure.
When you are done with one, team with me… let’s do independently… I’ll be waiting 
Apt. Well curated and easy to understand. The original post is dope but considering your points and reasons, you are absolutely correct.

I would like to commend all @creativesdao-council for genuinely working towards the growth of the ecosystem.
Here are my Few suggestions
*The idea of a bimonthly funding is great considering the fact that most times daos have little time to complete a bunch load of projects.
Funding
- One major thing to put into consideration is results? We need to show a more increase in metrics to the NF.
I agree with @Hawwal on this
I think it is important to understand the core value and Worth of the Creative dao in the ecosystem, and also to remember that we represent different communities with vast number of people all over the world.
*Social Media is a strong force for web2 creatives
I would also like the Creative dao to pay a lot of attention to their social media pages, I think they can share the work load, have different people manage different accounts for effective results.
I saw this post few weeks ago,and i think it’s a nice idea
https://gov.near.org/t/creative-dao-social-management/28845?u=larkim
Lastly, I would also like to add that, the idea of Web3 is still very strange to a lot of creatives, we need to pay a lot attention to physical events to attract the web2 creatives,
It is important to understand that the switch to web 3 is a work in motion, and this change will only happen with a lot of consistent efforts.

Hi there! 
I have been away for some time due to my personal life needing presence. I hope to contribute with more depth soon but for now want to respond to the direct call here…
I feel that categorizing the art fields is only a benefit if there are specialized teams assigned to each category, otherwise it just becomes further barrier to entry.
Having culture as a category is complicated as, like art, it is hard to define. To me art and culture are interconnected. For art to be separate of culture is a colonial reality that has been created by the act of wringing out the ancestral, emotional, spiritual, psychological spirit of art for the sake of corralling it’s value into only economic form. Art is one form (one of the most expressive forms) that culture is embodied but it can also be experienced through beliefs, practices, institutions, etc. Even if culture is one that we don’t like, or one that doesn’t obviously present itself to us, it can be seen in most things if we look hard enough.
I would think that having a cultural category would present difficulties as there will never be one expert in culture, culture is hard to quantify, and likely all cultural projects will be multidisciplinary (and potentially expansive beyond the arts). On a positive side a cultural category could be a really cool way to highlight and claim valuable the diversity of our community and connect us through deeper understandings.
Overall I think culture, especially cultural diversity, is an incredibly necessary topic for all ecosystems to invest into. While it may be challenging to fit it into a subcategory of Creatives, it may be a great start to a wider or parallel vertical that encompasses all (more?) layers of culture. I am happy and interested in contributing to this specific topic further.

One thing I will say and ask is this; we know that we can’t limit how far one person can add to the community but isn’t it too much that one person is a core member of many DAOs under the creative DAO and seeks funding for different projects in same month?
How can such a person deliver in the success metrics?
This is one major thing I have observed that happens within the creatives DAO and is of the problems of half success given so far

According to the rules,
A member is allowed to be a Council Member of at most, two DAOs

…but is this always the case?
@creativesdao-council should look into this by going over all proposals to see and fish out such people and restrict their rate of confusion

Hey, lemme know about this fact, at this present moment of Creatives DAO, can you fish out those people in multiple DAO Council specifically more than 2 DAOs . Kindly share, I’m curious. @IgbozeIsrael
Read what I wrote clearly mate. I am not here on the forum to have exchange of words or argue about facts with you. Thanks
You should be able to provide ‘for example’ evidences tho, to backup your observations. That would be more solid IMO.
This is so wrong. Moderators should not be councils. Imho

hey Paul,
would be cool to know exactly if council members of DAOs that ask for funding will be eligible for the upcoming mods open call. This issue should be discussed with NF imho.
Im guessing that if we are supposed to self-manage its just better to continue with mods also being council, just because its super hard to guarantee responsibility from 3rd parties, but if NF is willing to agree on it becoming a ‘job’ then they should help us set that up.

All points will be discussed with NF.
Also, on behalf of the Community Mods, we’d like to thank you all for your approach, observations, and feedback. We are gathering all that data to properly fine-tune the proposal. As more than 100 comments are a lot of work to do, Community Mods would like to ask for your patience.
We’ll keep you informed!
