Grants are given by the Grants Committee, from a treasury set aside for grant-based projects.

The grants treasury can fund projects that don’t align with the current DAO priorities but align with its mission and values and warrant funding.

The selection process for Grants Committee will the developed once the Alliances are up and running.
