@spectoregia is submitting application this week.

She will also join the TG group, as you can see below, it's how notifications will come through...

FAQ:

I have not heard back on my application yet, can I get an update?
"If you search your email for ‘Congratulations & AGD Next Steps’ then you can confirm that your application has been received. If you have not heard back after 1 month then you can request an update through the Aave Grants Telegram channel."

Will I hear back if my application is rejected?
"Yes, you will hear back either way if your application is successful or not."

grant submitted. here's the draft of the Q&A: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16LGGuDt9u45fe3mOd-ZCCpT4cUoS7L6UKJLTXn3UC38/edit?usp=sharing

Here's their response:

This is to confirm that we have received your Aave Grants DAO application for Giveth (DAO)! Your application will be passed on to an appropriate reviewer in a few days. In case we decide to proceed with your grant application to the interview stage, we will let you know within the next 10 days.

Best,
Aave Grants DAO

more detailed explanation about their reasoning to decline our application:

Regarding the grant application you sent in for giveth.io (http://giveth.io/), from my understanding it did not seem like a good fit for a few reasons but mainly because $80k to build a site that would not be increasing Aave’s growth in any way seemed hard to justify. Other than possibly indirect marketing it’s not something that fits the scope of what we’re currently focused on funding.

It sounds like some members of Giveth connected with folks from Aave Companies at that Barcelona event. to discuss it more or possibly get a grant for building on Lens best would be to reach out to them or apply for a grant through their program which is separate from AGD. https://aave.notion.site/Grants-Application-eec79f59fbad4e34b51acc3c936073a2

if you guys are thinking to reapply I would suggest rethinking the amount as in the last 6+ month we have only approved a few grants of that size and all of them have had a more direct benefit to Aave

next steps:
let's rethink the amount asked for whitelabel and I can apply again
I will also apply for Lens grant but will need additional details, It seems we are using it to some extent already
