OVERVIEW OF APRIL PROPOSAL
We have spent the past quarter focusing on community education programs for Women within and outside of our DAO, and we are very proud of this work. Setting the bar for knowledge and technical understanding is critical to our mission as a grassroots DAO. While our current academic courses are in progress, we will execute the next crucial phase of the DAO as a grassroots funder.
For the next two quarters, we want to focus our DAO’s efforts on projects and as a cohesive team on driving cross-platform collaboration projects, onboarding women across chains and communities, funding substantial projects and initiatives, and ensuring we bring founders onto NEAR in the next two quarters.
We have made a careful selection of projects to fund. Last month, we had 2, and we are gaining traction this month with 4 (a total of 6 are being run from the DAO). We have a cross-platform campaign, legal activities, and marketing for the DAO.

SECTION 3 LEGAL ENTITY CREATION:
We have identified the MML Legal Group in Zurich and Stéphanie Stéphanie Fuchs 富彩蝶 . . MML has established the Pyth Data Association, the Casper Association, the ECO Association, the ZRO Association, and many more associations/DAOs in Switzerland.
(Stephanie is an expert in Crypto Tax Specialist Senior Tax Associate, LL.M. (UZH) International Tax Law )
After reviewing three options: Guernsey Trust, Camain Islands, and a more straightforward wrapper from Switzerland, We believe the following is best for this DAO:
- A simple structure in Switzerland provides us the legal cover we need, address, and ability to have a local bank in Zurich
- A dedicated team of two lawyers who can support us per need at a discounted rate
- A simple association legal wrapperwill be quickly created and executed, but a Trust demands more operational support, and we believe Switzerland is best for us over the Cayman Islands.
MML fees to establish an association and register the association in the commercial register cost 3,500 (excl. VAT). The 3500 CHF equals USD 3895.83.
We are asking for a budget that matches their Swiss Franc (CHF) cost, with a buffer for legal time: TOTAL $4,000 USD
