2. Facilitate 75 net new neighborhoods in the Cabin Network
3. Support and retain 100 total neighborhoods in the Cabin Network

Run the Cabin Neighborhood Accelerator Program (NAP)

• Program Design & Development: creating curriculum, a wiki of resources, participant experience design during + after the program, and iteratively improving to facilitate better outcomes. Creating systems to automate and decentralize aspects of NAP to a wider group.
• Culture + Network Building: Building the culture + systems that sustain a strong network. Creating a culture of action, experimentation, transformation, and mutual support for participants. Onboarding NAP participants into Cabin’s DAO governance.
• Participant Support & Coaching: Forming and managing cohorts, holding participants accountable, facilitating group calls, and 1:1 coaching.
• Experimenting to Drive Revenue Streams: Listening for signals and running experiments to test viable revenue opportunities

Facilitate 75 net new neighborhoods in the Cabin network via the Neighborhood Accelerator Program

In addition to the above actions:

• Pipeline & Growth: Building + improving the program's marketing and sales funnel with @Kaela, @jon, and @grin to usher the right people into our network.

Support and retain 100 total neighborhoods in the Cabin Network

• Supporting existing neighborhood stewards and responding to their needs. Creating more pathways for stewards to become leaders within the network.
• Connecting stewards with grants and public goods funding opportunities
• Building alongside neighborhood stewards. Applying for grants as a network, exploring potential revenue streams, supporting stewards to contribute to Cabin + run experiments in their neighborhoods.

Proposed Budget

• $100K USDC + 2400 ₡ABIN to Savannah
• $20K USDC to fund additional facilitators + contributors as needed. If funds are left over from this $20K by the end of Nov 2025, they will roll over into the renewed proposal (if it passes) or will be returned to the treasury (if it does not pass)
• 16,500 ₡ABIN to distribute to new neighborhood stewards, facilitators, mentors, and additional contributors
