If we get funding from this round, it will be used to fund CER operations in the context of Iteration 1, running from January to July 2024.

CER's business plan is designed in a way that operations are constantly adaptable according to the funding available; in the previous months we reached the minimum funding required to keep the basic protocol going, as many projects contributed to receive more exposure (as indicated in our website https://commonseconomy.org) so from now on, any extra funding received will be used to increase the output of the protocol!

This means that we can generate more knowledge on the featured projects, include more projects in next Iterations, and increase the effectiveness of the Promotion Protocol, as well as securing the funds required to keep CER minimal infrastructure going in the case of unexpected issues.

This is why we won’t add further milestones in this application. Discussion and planning around Iteration 2, starting from July 2024, are already ongoing and they are programmed in the operations of Iteration 1!

Having more funds also gives us more capacity to keep our events series going, which further amplify CER promotion and keep our community growing and thriving through valuable in real life gatherings.
