Grant Application Process
To apply for a grant, please follow the process outlined below:
Contact
Make contact with the LEGO person responsible for your specific area of contribution (or just any LEGO person who will forward you to the relevant point of contact) on Telegram to introduce yourself and your idea.
Good practice is to prepare a short pitch of the proposal:
Title: What is the grant application about?
Author(s): Who will be working on the proposal (experience, previous major achievements)?
Purpose: How will it aid the Lido ecosystem? Why is it important?
Summary: A brief summary of the grant application (3-4 sentences)
Details: timelines, expenses estimates.
Discuss grants terms
Hash out the terms, timelines, and deliverables in personal communication with the relevant LEGO member. They will get approval or rejection according to the LEGO process.
Review
The proposal is shared on research.lido.fi and amongst LEGO committee members for review. Upon approval, communication channels will be set up and nominee will receive funding.
Present
Upon completion, the creator is invited to introduce the grant work and showcase their developments to the LEGO committee.
The timeline for grant execution will differ based on the size of the grant opportunity as well as the number of committee members needed to take part.
LEGO Committee
LEGO is built up around 2 unique segments - LEGO Council & LEGO Nominees.
LEGO Council
The LEGO Council is comprised of the founding LEGO partners. The LEGO Council is comprised of 8 individuals with a range of backgrounds and experience, each responsible for a specific segment of Lido.
LEGO Nominees
The LEGO Nominees is an expansion of LEGO by 10 individuals who manage personal allocations (up to 10,000 LDO) with the ability to approve pebble-sized grants to developments which they find to be of benefit to Lido/the industry.
Quarterly reporting
Each quarter LEGO issues reports with an overview and details of granting activity for the past 3 months:
