Definition
For the purposes of this proposal, "Project" refers to any startup, mini-application, independent builder, collective, organization, charity, or group within the Polkadot ecosystem.
Summary
Our team requests funding to integrate our "Fund the World" application (launched at Bitcoin Vegas in May) to the Polkadot ecosystem. We aim to create a comprehensive registrar of Polkadot Projects seeking support, increasing their visibility, facilitating connections, and driving ecosystem growth.
Our Team

Conclusion
By converting our Hackathon submission into Polkadot entirely, we will create a valuable resource that connects Projects with supporters, increases visibility for builders, and strengthens the overall ecosystem. We greatly appreciate your consideration of this proposal!
Good morning, guys. Happy to see people coming to the treasury, not asking for big chunks. Your proposal is humble, but I still have some questions that more people might know the answers to. 😊
Are there any plans to maintain the project after these two months? Will you come to the treasury again for that?
How is your project different from platforms like https://polkaproject.com/, https://polkadotecosystem.com/, or even Polkadot.com (they have listed projects on the webpage).
What do you mean by the registrar of Polkadot Projects seeking support? Will there be a listing only of projects that need something?
Thank you for the answers 🫡
