@petko @Gina thanks for the heads up. We're aware of some of the existing acronyms. Our community puts it like this: #DTF let's get Down To Fund!

@happyborg @Wtebbens same TBH, I think this is useful constructive feedback.

I am cautiously optimistic these days because I’ve seen other funds but have been disappointed by ghosting and lack of transparency from other initiatives before. So now I mostly don’t believe it until proven otherwise.

If you need help with comms, I’d also be happy to contribute since this seems like a genuine effort.

@happyborg

Thanks for your interest!

We are a community network building this from the ground up. Therefore our funding methodology is rooted in civic crowd funding. Please read our just launched call for proposals:
https://democratictech.fund/news/dtf-launches-crowd-fund-platform-and-opens-call-for-proposals/

And also check out the story about our partner Goteo, arguably one of the most interesting of such platforms.

We are incredibly happy that with them we have been able to just launch our own collectively owned and operated crowd fund platform. Geared towards impulsing mostly any community centred social mission with the commitment to embrace, self control and contribute to #DemocraticTech

If you go through the Join process to become a member, you can read up much of our mission and background. It's a daunting challenge. But: Together we can do this.
