Seems most organizations are making it harder to get funding. This makes things more difficult for both funders and fundees and ultimately does more harm that good. Would love to see moar focus on the accountability side

All of the above. Seems most organizations are requiring more and more effort to jump through a series of hoops for just the potential of getting a grant. Often times there is back-and-forth to continue iterating on the proposal. In the end most of the funding is going to well known entities rather that new projects. With more and more KYC requirements the red tape gets longer and longer. It's a risky full-time job to navigate these proposal processes that are left up to the whims of community votes and may take months to realize funding

harder to get funding in what sense...?

a) more stringent fundee qualification criteria
b) longer funder decision-making processes
c) generally more red tape
d) less open approach / need to know somebody
e) something else
