ReFi Spring
TLDR - Let’s make ReFi accessible for all! Gitcoin support will enable support for IRL events establishing places of belonging for the ReFi Movement.

Our Why?

Imagine a regenerative economy, a financial system that serves humanity and our collective home - Earth.

Within web3, the ReFi movement aims to cultivate this vision within a new economic system. ReFi Spring exists to support its emergence across a rich diversity of global networks by facilitating strong bonds between individuals through human IRL interaction.

What does ReFi Spring do?

ReFi Spring is a nonprofit working to enable global IRL ReFi events to create new communities in the ReFi ecosystem. We do this by providing free, accessible, full-range event support services and educational content, including:

How we do it

Event Toolkit: This toolkit contains all the information event organisers need to run a successful ReFi event, including event frameworks, marketing materials, tips for press engagement, workshop plans, and more.

Event Funding: Every ReFi event can apply for event funding; however, our funding criteria is weighted towards supporting events by and for marginalised communities. We recognise the importance of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as fundamental values supporting the healthy growth of the ReFi ecosystem.

Event Organizer Cohort: Providing upskilling sessions and the networking environment to grow the community of ReFi on-the-ground leaders.

Intro to ReFi Course: ReFi Spring is currently curating an “Intro to ReFi” online learning course for new and native audiences to understand and engage in the ReFi ecosystem.

ReFi Rabbithole: Supporting the creation set of interconnected materials that explain what ReFi is to new audiences

We offer all of the above and so much more as a public good to the ReFi Community.

GR15 Update

Thanks to GR15 support, we enabled a further five events for a total of 27 events for Season 1 of ReFi Spring

ReFi Mercadito Verde - A ReFi Spring event focused on social currencies which promote a circular economy and a network of exchanges in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

ReFi India - A hugely successful first ReFi event in Bangalore, with over 100 participants and 15+ speakers.

ReFi Primavera Regenerativa - In Minas Gerais, Brazil, this event kicked off a season of meet-ups between web3 natives and agroforestry practitioners.

Descentraliza BH - The first Bankless Brazil IRL event introducing newbies to Web3 and Web3 natives to the ReFi movement, this was the first event to address ReFi in the city of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Goals for Alpha Round

$5000 can fund 2 events + support our ongoing operational costs and the development of further open-source event materials

$20000 can support 8 more events in 2022 + “ “
