To revolutionize how donors identify and support grantees during PGF rounds.\n\n**QUICK LINKS**\n- [View GG21 Implementation of GrantsScope](https://grantsscope.streamlit.app/) (launching August 8th)\n- [GrantsScope details on prior funding and impact on Karma GAP](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/grantsscope---grantee-discovery-using-llms)\n\n### The Challenge: \nIn large PGF rounds, where hundreds of grantees vie for attention, the brightest spotlight often falls on those with the strongest marketing. This imbalance creates a cycle where deserving projects may go unnoticed, leading to an uneven distribution of resources and opportunities.\n\n> Information silos create cultural silos\n\n### The Result: \nThis disparity not only places additional burdens on grantees to amplify their visibility but also diverts their focus from creating meaningful impact. As a result, the true potential of PGF is left untapped, and innovation in public goods is stifled.\n\n### Our Solution: GrantsScope\nWe believe in leveling the playing field. GrantsScope harnesses the power of data analytics, machine learning, and advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance project visibility and democratize access to funding. Our experiments are designed to assist donors during quadratic funding rounds on Gitcoin Grants by\n- Providing personalized recommendations, helping donors easily navigate the complexity of PGF rounds.\n- Offering self-discovery tools that empower donors to explore and connect with projects that resonate with their values.\n- Reducing information asymmetry, ensuring donors comprehensively understand the PGF landscape.\n\n### Our Impact: \nHere are the list of apps deployed as part of the project implementation:\n- August 2024: The GG21 version will combine previously experimented features using LLMs and clustering algorithms to offer one-click grantee recommendations to donors. Visit the app at https://grantsscope.streamlit.app/ on or after August 8th after donations begin to explore the functionality\n\n- April 2024: Grantee [discovery tool](https://all-about-gg20.streamlit.app/) through conversational experience to explore 500+ grantees in GG20 participating in 4 OSS and 5 community rounds.
