This thread describes the Regional DAO proposal process for H2 2024 following the passing of [CGP141: CeloPG H2 budget.](https://celo.stake.id/#/proposal/182) This half-year, 200,000 cUSD is available for Regional DAO funding. Existing and new regional DAOs can apply with a proposal. Existing regional DAOs are recommended to complete their current cycle by coordinating their complete budget and publishing a final report before applying a new proposal. The [CeloPG Hub](https://hub.celopg.eco/), has been updated to reflect the H2 program and includes the following resources that can be used to create a good Regional DAO proposal: - [Regional DAO proposal template](https://hub.celopg.eco/cpg-budget-proposal-template) - [Overall CeloPG Funding process description](https://hub.celopg.eco/celo-public-goods-funding) - [The Regional DAO review template used by some Stewards](https://forum.celo.org/t/regional-dao-review-template-by-luukdao/7459) | Intent | Budget | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Regional DAOs | 200,000 cUSD | Budget for operating the Celo Regional DAOs that support growth and development in key geographic regions. | **Proposal review** As indicated in CPG141, this cycle, the CeloPG Stewards will vote on each of the Regional DAO proposals through the [Celo Public Goods snapshot space](https://snapshot.org/#/celopg.eth). A new voting strategy has been created that allocates one vote to each Steward based on the Hat they have been assigned in the [CeloPG Organization Tree.](https://app.hatsprotocol.xyz/trees/42220/9) Each vote will take five days. At least four stewards have to vote to ratify a decision. A majority of stewards have to vote “yes” for a proposal to pass. Stewards will “abstain” on proposals to which they are directly connected. **GG21 Regen Coordination** CeloPG is collaborating with Green Pill Network and ReFi DAO to run a [Regen Coordi-NATION program](https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/gg21-community-round-proposal-regen-coordi-nation/19114) to provide additional opportunities to local nodes and Celo regional DAOs. Gitcoin may match this program with 50k (results will be available on the 20th of July). The program could generate 1-10K extra revenue for Celo regional DAOs based on the impact and the value they can create! Please [visit the CeloPG hub](https://hub.celopg.eco/) for a detailed process description or ask questions under this thread. ---

To date, Regional DAOs have been formed for Continents and Countries; however, if a city or other geography is sufficiently relevant for Celo - they could apply! ---

Hey @tmoindustries, Glad to have you joining the conversation. If you have some time check [The Regional DAO review template used by Stewards](https://forum.celo.org/t/regional-dao-review-template-by-luukdao/7459). This might give some clarity on the criterias used to evaluate Regional DAOs ---
