In Brazil, social and environmental impact projects face funding challenges. 

Most initiatives depend exclusively on seasonal public grants or sponsorship from private sectors. Dadiva is a community to donate, receive and reciprocate to public goods in Brazil

What is Dádiva?

Access to Quadratic Funding: Deploy a capital allocation mechanism, such as Simple Grants, in the Allo v2 Protocol to Onboard Brazilian projects into funding.

Receive

Onchain Capital Allocation Mechanisms: Provide support and education for Brazilian projects in the ecosystem through the community treasury.

Reciprocate

Coordination: Build new capital allocation and coordination mechanisms for public goods projects.

Goals

"A Flexible Design for Funding Public Goods": Contextualize quadratic funding as a mechanism for funding public goods for public policies at municipal, state and national levels.

"Quadratic Funding and Pluralist Economics in Brazil": Produce a academic paper that connects development challenges and the tragedy of the commons to quadratic funding as a mathematically optimal solution for allocating public goods in a democratic way.

"Onchain Capital Allocation Docs": to learn, build and implement a protocol that uses quadratic funding as a capital allocation mechanism. Bring together experiences of protocols in Portuguese, such as Gitcoin, Giveth, Allo.capital for researchers and builders new to the ecosystem.
