At Deep Funding, we see Requests for Proposals (RFPs) as a powerful tool in developing high-quality projects. As a community-driven fund, we invite you to collaborate with us in ideating on the best RFP topics, and subsequently developing the best ideas into complete, high-quality RFPs. Your ideas and feedback are invaluable in driving innovation and impact through Deep Funding!!

Step 1: Submit Your Idea

Every great RFP starts with a compelling idea. We encourage you to submit your idea on this page, providing a brief description—no obligations attached. If your idea falls under the ‘General’ RFP challenge and is selected for RFP development, you will receive a reward of $1000,- in tokens as recognition for your contribution. If the idea reaches the stage of a published RFP, you will receive another $1000,- in tokens. 

Step 2: Participate in Special Challenges

From time to time, we will introduce special RFP ideation ‘Challenges’ focused on specific themes where we seek original and impactful ideas. Each challenge will come with its own timeline and reward structure. While receiving a challenge award does not guarantee that your idea will become an RFP, particularly strong and urgent proposals may be prioritized for development.

Step 3: RFP Development

Once an idea has been awarded, we move into the RFP development phase. Depending on the complexity of the proposal and your preferred level of involvement, we may:

• Offer you, as the proposer, the opportunity to develop the RFP.
• Invite another interested community member to take on the task.
• In cases of complex RFPs, host a small competition to select the best RFP Design Proposal.

We will define the scope, requirements, and rewards for the RFP development process. Rewards for developing an RFP are offered on top of the rewards for ideation. Once finalized, the RFP will be published with a clearly defined maximum award for project proposals and will be opened for submissions.

Join us in shaping the future—your ideas can lead to impactful innovations!
