REPORTING STRUCTURE ON TARGETS RELEVANT TO NEAR
Budget: $8,000 USD/month
Funds will be used to purchase $marmaj tokens from Ref Finance which will be transferred to the marmaj DAO. These funds will be distributed to support the Marma J Foundation’s objectives and initiatives. Any unspent funds will remain in the DAO account to be used for subsequent projects. Eventually, the plan is for Q3 2022, $marmaj token holders will have control over decision making of the marmaj DAO. That decision making also covers all of the funds in the treasury.
What experience and capabilities do you and members of the Guild bring?
Previous work in support of the NEAR Ecosystem:
How do you engage in the NEAR Community, who are your connections, who do you frequently interact with.
The marmaj Guild generally interacts with the NEAR community through social media (twitter/telegram) and through the marmaj DAO. We have a large artist/creative community and the marmaj Guild leverages that community to help complete proposed projects. As well, we generally interface a lot with many other creative guilds in the NEAR ecosystem as well as many communities who are building on Astro DAO technology.
Does the Guild have a DAO? Please add the DAO’s link

Is the DAO or the Guild a registered legal entity?
It currently is not but we are planning on registering a legal entity in the future, as the DAO expands.
