Donations in PAN are much appreciated and can help us access additional matched funding. You can get PAN here: https://app.1inch.io/#/1/unified/swap/DAI/PAN. Avano is also a verified organization on Giveth. Donations on Giveth are much appreciated https://giveth.io/project/return-to-green \n\nThe original idea of Avano (our old name was Akorn) is presented here in an intro video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqbmqB3unuI. Since then our work has been separated into two primary sections. Firstly, furthering the creation of a decentralized monitoring, reporting and verification system (dMRV). Secondly, empowering synergistic emergence for public good, through art and web3. After the name of each of our sub orgs you can find the percent of funds that will be channeled from funds raised in this round. \n\nThe Avano DAO wiki can be found here: https://avano.gitbook.io/avano/avano and we readily share what we are up to through our Twitter. To check out other projects in the ReFi ecosystem, check out this map we created and feel free to add your organization: https://www.mindmeister.com/map/2145029803?t=AiP70N5AmZ \n\nWe Believe That You Should Hold What You Value. \nTreasury Management:\nWe Have Over 50 NFTs, Many of Which Are From Public Good Organizations including the first NFT created of an Endangered Tree Species from the Endangered Tokens Foundation\nWe have invested in both Eden DAO https://twitter.com/TheEdenDao and Basin DAO https://twitter.com/basinDAO \nWe Hold the Majority of Funding Received in Klima and Regen \n\nDecentralized Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) Systems: dMeter 20% of Funds https://dmeter.super.site/ \n\n75% of funds raised from GR14 by Avano were channeled into a shared treasury initiating dMeter. dMeter is one of the first organizations of its kind. It is an organization of organizations that incentivizes cross organizational (decentralized) collaboration for monitoring, reporting and verification. This dMRV system is particularly geared towards data collection of regenerative actions (such as tree planting) and the benefits from them (such as benefits to water, soil, air, etc.). To further support dMeter\u2019s growth 25% of funds raised by Avano from GR15 were channeled to dMeter. Now 50% of the funds raised from this grant round (GR16), will go towards furthering the newly established Desci branch of dMeter. \n\nImportant Metrics\n\nEstablished dMeter's socials (138+ members in Discord currently)\n\nWG lead's elected (7 different working group leads, each from a unique dMRV organization)\n\nPilot project identified (Ogalla Life in Texas) with future pilots listed (Next likely to be in Paraguay and Colombia.

In particular they\u2019re creating a machine learning algorithm for prioritizing conservation of existing ecosystems based on their ability to increase wellbeing and resilience of populations to natural disasters. \nhttps://osf.io/ujhkq/?view_only=3b818fd552fa489fb40e3a6f85dc88ae \n\nAvano\u2019s founder has also started an open source collaborative book that explores various web3 topics, found here: https://avano.gitbook.io/regenerative-cryptoeconomics-book/ \n\nStarted Staking Half of dMeter treasury with https://app.spirals.so/ to further support planetary regeneration \n\nFuture Fund Use\n\nFunds will be used to further incentivize contributions in dMeter.

Organizations responded that this funding allowed them immensely; they established a recycling center in El Salvador and doubled their treasury budget in Brazil for example. There was a full day of ReFi talks (recorded on our Youtube: https://youtu.be/8C3ya7dNulc) from leaders all over the world. Music was streamed into the metaverse from two different stages (12 hours each stage) and 52 NFTs from 40+ artists were auctioned for the environment! \n\nFrom the success of this event a following event was coordinated for September 9th in New Zealand around Mental Health as a public good. There was a custom metaverse space created for a Gender neutral, identity fluid, artist that is a DAO to portray their current work as well as stream the opening exhibition event into the metaverse. This event sent .18ETH to PeepTers, Sage to Saddle, Gravity DAO, and Happy DAO from NFTs sold during the event. Check out the space here: https://www.voxels.com/play?coords=N@4665W,2194S \n\nTo further support linguistic diversity in the crypto space, Return to Green hosted EthSantiago in their custom built boiler room space. This conference was entirely in Spanish. https://www.voxels.com/play?coords=W@2957W,3936N,0.5U \n\nCollaborated with AgroforestDAO to teach school children in Brazil how to build metaverse space and how planning in the metaverse can be useful for agroforestry principles.

Raid Guild was contracted for a design sprint of this marketplace After the design sprint was completed the results were shared on various forums of organizations that support public good. With the word getting out that we were wanting to start fundraising to create an MVP of this marketplace we were approached by Inverter Network a branch of PrimeDAO, asking if we were interested in being one of the first web3 organizations to utilize their newly created fundraising system. We were very intrigued and are now going to be part of their trial run in February. Can learn more about this marketplace here: https://gov.charged.fi/t/fenxt-nft-marketplace \n\nImportant Metrics\n\nUSDC $8,000 was spent to contract Raid Guild on a Design Sprint\n\nCreated many forum posts sharing the idea, example post here: https://gov.charged.fi/t/fenxt-nft-marketplace \n\nReceived Brand Guide from Raid Guild: https://www.figma.com/proto/IW6RiBBq6JiUFpQNsIUGfw/PGNFTMKT-Brand-Design?node-id=4%3A10&scaling=scale-down&page-id=0%3A1&starting-point-node-id=4%3A10\n\nReceived Scope of Work for What Needs to Be Built From Raid Guild: \nhttps://hackmd.io/IgJL2pxfSXWo35UKhROuYg?edit\n\nAccumulated a Contact List of Organizations to Reach Out To When Launching Fundraising Campaign with Inverter in February  \n\nFuture Fund Use\n\nMarket Fundraising Campaign \n\nHire DAO(s) (Raid Guild, General Magic, Buidl Guild etc.) to Build MVP of Marketplace ", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Avanoio", "projectTwitter": "Avano_io"}, "recipient": "0x3C8281c8786ab29Bcab5B33566968f8011ea6A59"}}
