Hello @williamx 1.

Hey @bernarddsa Your funding proposal contains only one main activity - [[PROPOSAL] RAINDROPS DAO - EVENT x MUMBAI | September 2022](http://gov.near.org/t/proposal-raindrops-dao-event-x-mumbai-september-2022/27764), which doesn’t fall under CreativesDAO at all, as it has nothing in common with art or music. Moreover, your metrics are unclear to me, without any details of how you would like to achieve them by your event. It’s a perfect proposal for Marketing DAO, therefore I’m not able to support RaindropsDAO in September. ---

Thanks @Paul As per your comment and our interaction with Creative Dao Telegram call, we have moved the project to marketing Dao. I am looking forward to the Marketing Moderators’ approval of the same. [@marketingdao-council](https://gov.near.org/groups/marketingdao-council) kindly check Thanks ---

Hi. You have conducted courses on familiarization with the ecosystem, the University of Near, this is a good job. What are the results of your work? Has anyone been able to get a university degree? Do you interact with teachers from the university? Your requested amount does not describe the expense. I mean, what will this money be spent on? Thx 😊 ---

> [@bernarddsa](#): > > I represent RaindropsDAO, a community for artists, Poets, Developers, and authors, onboarding globally It is unclear to me why the Creatives DAO did not think this proposal was suited under the creatives category. > [@bernarddsa](#): > > - We had around 300+ college students, web#3 enthusiasts, poets, writers and developers who joined the event > - We have educated them about Near, Near Coin, Near University and their benefits. > - We had panel discussion on the future of crypto, nfts and how to use NearWallet. > - We have onboarded over 100 folks on our Telegram, Whastapp collectively. > 5)We had interactions and open discussion with students and web3 folks It is very hard I not impossible for Council members to attest to the veracity of these statements. Are there any links to the social media, recording on the day, etc.? I can see how the team is trying to promote NEAR. Yet, the target audience and overall operations of the DAO matter. It is not possible nor appropriate for Marketing DAO to grant funds to any project, regardless of it’s nature, as long as they mention NEAR. Unfortunately at this stage I don’t think the nature of this project falls under the scope of what we are supposed to be funding. Notes: - There is a strong contingent of new applications from very active community members and their projects. Competition for funding is increasing, only the projects that can show he most impact will be able to receive funding. - We are on a mission to onboard one billion users. At this stage of the journey, we have a strong focus on developers, builders and end users.
