Pursuing/Obtaining Grants for Polygon Expansion

Proposed actions: The K9 Finance DAO will allocate US $10,000 over 12 weeks from the Operations budget for a dedicated resource to pursue grants, funding, and strategic ecosystem opportunities aligned with Polygon Phase 0. This allocation will run through November 30, 2025, or until the budget is fully utilized.

If this proposal passes the DAO will task this resource with:

Preparing and submitting grant applications to meet the DAO’s goal of securing ≥$90K in external funding by November 30, 2025.

Conducting readiness audits and pursuing grants or partnerships within Polygon and beyond.

Providing monthly progress reports to the community.

Return or roll over any unspent funds if work ends early or the DAO decides to discontinue.

This initiative supports Phase 0’s funding mandate while keeping costs lean and treasury reserves protected.
