Bring in outside Auditor in so the masses see where they money is going

If your grant relates to ENS or the ENS ecosystem there are a few different ways to receive a grant or funds from the ENS DAO:

Gitcoin Grants

Participate in the ENS ecosystem round of Gitcoin Grants. The next Gitcoin Grants Round, GR15, starts on September 7th and there will be a $69k round that will be distributed to ENS-related projects.

Working Group grants

Attend an Ecosystem working group call, which take place weekly, and pitch your idea or show proof of work to stewards. If your work is specifically DAO related, you could attend the MetaGovernance call, which also takes place every Monday.

ENS grants platform

Submit a grant to the ENS small grants platform at ensgrants.xyz. This month each working group will run a round awarding 1ETH to 5 projects with the highest number of votes. You can vote with $ENS. The next round will kick off in the next week or two, so be sure to follow the ENS DAO Twitter account for updates.

DAO-wide proposal

If you are looking for a larger sum, a DAO-wide proposal may be the best path forward, which requires moving an Executable Proposal through the governance process on this forum, or holding 100k $ENS to post a vote directly onchain.
