T.E.A.M Foundation Grant Program

A key activity of the T.E.A.M Foundation is to deploy resources to entities and initiatives that will help to ensure the long-term success of the T.E.A.M blockchain. Areas of interest for grants reflect some of our current needs, and we invite you to also reach out with your own unique ideas and innovations. We look forward to discovering your project!

Our Grant Process

The grant process covers the three stages of Proposal, Award, and, if successful, Post-Award. For successful proposals, it takes on average four weeks to review a proposal and another four weeks to complete the necessary paperwork. It is essential that prospective grantees and their projects are evaluated diligently to ensure that the deployed resources add proportional value to the T.E.A.M ecosystem.

Our evaluation process contains the following steps:

1 week

The Grant Process starts with a grant proposal submission.
The grant proposal should include central information on the proposed project and how the T.E.A.M intends to succeed.
This information can include, for example, functional and technical details of the proposed solution, its purpose, a roadmap, an introduction of the project team, evidence of familiarity with the T.E.A.M ecosystem, anticipated value added to the T.E.A.M ecosystem, and measures to assure the longevity of the solution beyond the grant duration.
After proposal submission, the proposal is vetted by the T.E.A.M Foundation. The outcome of this step can be a forward for in-depth reviews, a revise and resubmit, or a decline.

If forwarded for in-depth review, the grant proposal is reviewed by ecosystem experts, supervised by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC completes an in-depth due diligence process and develops recommendations on a proposal’s fit and usefulness to the T.E.A.M ecosystem. The TAC’s recommendations are then reviewed by the Executive Committee (EC) or the T.E.A.M Foundation Council (FC) which then makes the final decision.

Final decisions about grant proposals, which can be an accept, decline, or a revise and resubmit, are then communicated to grant proposers.

Approved applicants work on the legal paperwork to finalize a grant with the T.E.A.M Foundation.
The grant agreement for the project and the corresponding payments are usually structured along milestones.
Once a milestone is completed, the grantee submits a report, which is reviewed and if approved, the payment for the milestone is issued.

After the project finished, the T.E.A.M Foundation conducts regular check-ins to determine the prosperity of the project.
At this stage, the T.E.A.M Foundation explores further collaboration opportunities with grantees and may offer to connect parties in the T.E.A.M ecosystem with similar synergies.
