To revolutionize how donors identify and support grantees during PGF rounds.\n\n### The Challenge: \nIn large PGF rounds, where hundreds of grantees vie for attention, the brightest spotlight often falls on those with the strongest marketing. This imbalance creates a cycle where deserving projects may go unnoticed, leading to an uneven distribution of resources and opportunities.\n\n### The Result: \nThis disparity not only places additional burdens on grantees to amplify their visibility but also diverts their focus from creating meaningful impact. As a result, the true potential of PGF is left untapped, and innovation in public goods is stifled.\n\n### Our Solution: GrantsScope\nWe believe in leveling the playing field. GrantsScope harnesses the power of data analytics, machine learning, and advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance project visibility and democratize access to funding. Our experiments are designed to assist donors during quadratic funding rounds on Gitcoin Grants by\n- Providing personalized recommendations, helping donors easily navigate the complexity of PGF rounds.\n- Offering self-discovery tools that empower donors to explore and connect with projects that resonate with their values.\n- Reducing information asymmetry, ensuring donors comprehensively understand the PGF landscape.\n\n### Our Impact: \nHere are the list of apps deployed as part of the project implementation:\n\n- April 2024: One-click personalized [Personalized Grantee Recommendations](https://gitcoin-cr3.streamlit.app/) for Citizens Round #3 to re-discover the grantees you\u2019ve supported in the past, explore grantees backed by the community who also champion your favorite projects, and uncover similar but previously unknown grantees\n\n- March 2024: [Clustering-based Discovery tool](https://gp-octant.streamlit.app/) for GreenPill Network x Octant Community Round to guide your exploration of projects by picking a project that sparks your curiosity, discovering similar and distinct projects.\n\n- January 2024: PoCs for [Grantee Recommendations Engine](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/concepts-pocs-and-early-results-for-personalized-grantee-recommendations/17469) by tapping into historical donation data and for driving interactive visualization to discover similar projects based on clustering.\n\n- December 2023: [Code-created NFT](https://zora.co/collect/oeth:0x4e17da9659cca38ebfd98446d2b404bf94fe9997/1) art to illustrate power of PGF.
