Dora Grant DAO Introduction
Introduction
At DoraHacks we focus on finding and assisting hackers with innovative ideas to help grow the web3 ecosystem.
This is why we have started the Dora GrantDAO, a grant program formed to assist hacker projects in their initial stages to continue building their projects and reach their full potential.
Below you’ll find information on how to apply for Dora GrantDAO, the requirements, what Dora GrantDAO will provide and how we can work together in the future.
What Grants are available?
There are two types of grants available to applicants:
- Mini Grant, $2,000 to $10,000, aimed at supporting projects through their ideation phases to help them develop a roadmap and clear plan forward.
- Mega Grant, $50,000 to $100,000, for projects that have a clear milestone development plan for the foreseeable future.
The Mega Grant will be distributed to the team in accordance with their roadmap and milestones which are agreed upon by the Dora team and the hackers. For example $30k at the completion of milestone one, $30k at milestone two and the remaining $40k at milestone three. This helps to incentivise the teams to continue working and further developing their project as time goes by with funding available at various stages.

There are various mandates to successfully be selected for the Dora GrantDAO program. The first requirement is that the project is an innovative early stage hacker project. These projects typically have not received any funding from other sources such as VCs or incubator programs. The project must also have a clear and concise roadmap, with milestones in the foreseeable future so that the Dora team can assess how the project is progressing.
