Our funding model enables peer learning and provides crucial financing for collaborative community labor, solving a major gap in philanthropy today.\n\nThis approach flips mainstream media's fear mongering on its head. Bloom aggregates inspiring stories of what people everywhere are doing, and encourages more people to take similar actions where they live.\n\n**GG21 Contribution Allocation:**\n- 90% to the [Local Action Rewards](https://bloomnetwork.earth/view/announcement-local-action-rewards-942c6454c17d) pool.\n- 10% to platform development and training, including crypto education.\n\n\ud83c\udf38 **How It Works:**\n\n[![bounties-Flow.png](https://i.postimg.cc/gcghpbtF/bounties-Flow.png)](https://postimg.cc/LhZ5kwMN)\n\nLocal Bloom hubs and their members earn FLO (Flowers), our reputation token, by documenting their regenerative actions. Our grants are dispersed based on FLO earned in that period. The public can easily read about the actions, allowing peers to learn and improve their own impact. Our social network, combining features of LinkedIn, Facebook, and Discord, supports effective mobilization around what is working well for climate adaptation and repair.\n\nWe are exploring ways to add community currency properties to FLO to support local business discovery, further utilizing [Inverter Network's](https://github.com/InverterNetwork) smart contracts. All together, this approach kickstarts flywheels for bioregional economies.\n\n[![community-Currency-nodescrip.png](https://i.postimg.cc/cJY52P2q/community-Currency-nodescrip.png)](https://postimg.cc/1gmHN7yM)\n\n# Goal\n**Sponsors for the rewards pool are welcome.

Highlights:\n\n-   **Education:** Prepared educational materials and began onboarding our 30,000-person community onto Web3 via Bloom Network. Developed a Needs Assessment survey to help Local Bloom nodes write grants.\n-   **Impact Reporting Interoperability:** Coded an API to pull impact reports from Bloom Network into Karma GAP, aiding Local Bloom projects in securing additional funding.\n-   **Local Blooms' Impact:** Broadfield Enterprises Uganda obtained EU and US organic certifications. Rifai Sicilia completed greenhouse and irrigation upgrades, hosted educational events including Silvi's tree MRV protocol, and received local press coverage for their forest fire guardianship. Diamante Bridge Collective supported Boruca matriarch-led restoration efforts in Costa Rica and deepened relationships with local transformational conferences. They received their Precious Plastics Shredder to form waste into usable materials.\n- **[Three new Bloom nodes joined:](https://bloomnetwork.earth/engage/localBlooms)** Cooperativa Los Higuerones in Costa Rica, Northeastern US Bio-Economy Alliance, and Permatours.\n-   **[Platform Enhancements](https://medium.com/@bloomnetwork/bloom-network-major-release-13-july-2024-e3afa0cf4f2c):** Revamped the public landing page, added Global/Local toggle for social media timeline, integrated a Discord clone including dm's, introduced event listings, and launched \"Digs\" (Bloom's version of likes).\n\n[![GG20.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/Z5pN0n3t/GG20.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/w1xMG600)\n*pictured: Ogallala Life, Texas, aquifer restoration.
