​Join us for a day with program managers from across Web3 to discuss the current state of grants and to tackle some of the biggest challenges we're seeing today.

​This is an invite-only event for grant operators that will include a facilitated session focused on aligning grant programs and mapping pressing problems, as well as two breakout sessions to dive deeper into topics such as impact measurement, improving grant program operations, scaling grant programs, or finding qualified grantees.

​There will be a survey sent ahead of time to get input on programming so that we can make the most of this event.

​This event is the first focused on grants organized by the Metagov Grant Innovation Lab team. In addition to these events, we host quarterly calls for grant managers, we conduct various research projects relating to granting, and we are working on a metadata standard for grants. We look forward to seeing how this event goes and planning follow ups at ETH CC and/or Devcon.
