**Hello and welcome to the NEAR Community Squad [https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near](https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near).**

The NEAR community is invited to submit payout proposals to the DAO in order to fund monthly Guild tasks/activities. Please keep the funding amount, that is being requested, to less than 300 NEAR per payout proposal.

**Purpose**  
This DAO’s purpose is to empower communities of the NEAR ecosystem by rewarding positive contributions and helping to grow a network of meaningful projects within the NEAR ecosystem.

**Who should submit proposals?**  
Payout proposals to the Community Squad [https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near](https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near) should be submitted by members of the NEAR community who consider themselves “Guild Leaders” (organizing a group with more than 1 other member).

**Don’t yet consider yourself a Guild Leader?**  
[Createbase](https://createbase.community/) is a guild within the NEAR ecosystem that takes the role of growing the community by supporting the onboarding of new guilds. If you are someone who is thinking about starting a guild and taking on more of a leadership role within the community, [please check out this post](http://gov.near.org/t/createbase-dao-proposal-submission-guide/1248).

**How should a proposal be submitted**

1. Guild Leader posts in the NEAR forums (please use the “community-squad” tag), within the “[Ecosystem](http://gov.near.org/c/ecosystem-development/16)” category, outlining:

2. The council of the Community Squad [https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near](https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near) will deliberate over your proposal by checking over the info submitted in the forum link and leaving comments if necessary.

3. Go to the Community Squad [https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near](https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near) and “add new proposal” of the “payout” type.

4. Funds will be transferred from the communitysquad.sputnikdao.near contract to the address set in the “target” field from step 2, once the council members of the Community Squad [https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near](https://sputnik.fund/#/communitysquad.sputnikdao.near) vote to approve your payout proposal.
