The things which your team needs for setup aka camera, lightings, mic etc. What happens to them after shooting of the video for harmony?
Are you proposing to give it back to the Harmony Team?
Or are are you planning to give it out on the charity( i am available for the same).:eyes::eyes:

Hi @Devil_Jin, we are already using our current resource pool at the optimum level as we are already producing 7-8 videos daily on all the channels and we aren’t resourceful enough to create more content with the same setup. For doing our campaign with Harmony we need to set up additional resources mentioned in this part, we will be using a small amount of money for setup from this grant towards the resources, a major portion of this grant will be spent on HR costs.

The Harmony team will have full rights over the educational awareness videos which we will be creating to use anywhere else as well.

From the research part to the video production part, video editing, and postings to get traction from the potential audiences, Finstreet will handle everything from end to end.

Regards,
Team Finstreet

Thank you for the proposal @Finstreet and I’m happy for your success on the FinStreet YouTube channel. Unfortunately this does not fit into our Partnerships program. However, there are two options you might consider, one is creating a regional DAO for Harmony and the other is applying for our income for our builders and creatives:

Summary of Grant Types:

Regional DAO
We have very specific requirements for DAO formation if you’re interested in that route, though it will involve more than the original video campaign you’re looking to complete for Harmony. You can review a number of our DAOs formed on talk.harmony.one: DAOs - Harmony Community Forum

Income
We offer $75/hr to builders and creatives, and you can submit an income proposal here: Income - Harmony Community Forum

For an income proposal, we will need an estimated number of hours for completion of the creative content. See the Grants link above for more information.

Thank you for applying for a grant and we hope to see you come back with a proposal that better fits the content you’re looking to create.
