View submission: Community Funds applications are open!
The rules state
"We will not fund projects that are affiliated with or intend to explicitly promote another company, website, or outside project."
Is there wiggle room on that? We were already thinking about throwing a combo AMA/Fundraiser, and it would be great to be able to have matching, or actual physical gifts for people who donate a particular amount, or even have a tour with the org for some users. But it certainly would be affiliated with another outside project.

Hi - great question! In a nutshell, yes, there is wiggle room. An AMA/fundraiser with matching funds or gifts from an outside partner could definitely work. The intention behind this rule is to avoid purely commercial projects with no genuine impact to the community. That said, I can totally see how this rule could be confusing, and we're working on rephrasing it so that it's more clear for use cases like yours.
