Sponsor the NGO TPM for 1 year, including:
After the initial sponsorship by GnarsDAO in 2022 through the proposal "Sponsor children from TPM NGO to surf," TPM was able to maintain it's activities and introduce the world of Gnars and Nouns to the children through stickers and artistic activities like coloring and creating Noggles. A special Gnars t-shirt designed by Ilustradora became so popular among the children that they continue to wear it today.
Additionally, numerous media pieces were created and continue to be produced by TPM, promoting the image of GnarsDAO.
However, since then, TPM has struggled to pay rent and had to relocate. The impact of the NGO on the community is substantial, and now Gnars has the opportunity again to be part of this project by covering its rent and sponsoring promising gnarly surfers.
After one year without sponsorship, we propose to sponsor the NGO TPM for another year to continue its activities and projects. This includes covering one year of rent to support approximately 80-100 children and 100-120 women, and sponsoring 7 athletes to compete in regional and national surf championships. Among these athletes, 5 are under 18, and 2 are professional surfers who frequently make it to the podium, showcasing GnarsDAO from the top!
In our initial proposal, we started a digital education program focused on web3, which had to be paused due to a lack of computers. In this proposal, we include the purchase of 3 computers to restart digital literacy for participants, eventually introducing web3 topics to empower them to leverage this innovation for their growth and development.
For the 2 PRO surfers, we will onboard them to GnarsDAO, leveraging the return of “That’s Gnarly” to integrate them into the community and provide an additional income source and return to the DAO.
Throughout the process, we will document activities and produce numerous videos and photos of the projects. These will be posted on That’s Gnarly and TPM and Gnars social media (Instagram and Warpcast). Additionally, we will hire Virei Notícia to promote the project, GnarsDAO, and the children’s competition results across major media outlets in Brazil and within the web3 community.
According to Proposal 382, the focus of the community is to fund projects that bring nounish public goods to society. The Nouns DAO has supported impactful initiatives since its inception. This proposal aims to onboard athletes who can serve as bridges to these children and use Gnars' social media to reciprocate the sponsorship, creating an additional income stream.
A one-year sponsorship allows careful onboarding and effective results, giving time to create quality content that can generate income for GnarsDAO through NFTs on Zora and/or That’s Gnarly. The press service, alongside the creation of t-shirts, caps, flags, and stickers, will ensure extensive media coverage of Gnars from the top of the podiums, as our athletes frequently place highly.
Finally, GnarsDAO will be investing in future promising athletes. These children will never forget who their first sponsors were.
NGO TPM:
