Karma GAP wants to help grant operators rounds run more smoothly and maximize impact! Here’s how we can help

The Problem

Running a grant round isn’t just about distributing funds—it’s about making sure the right projects get in, tracking their progress, and giving funders confidence that their money is making an impact. But that’s easier said than done. Grant operators often struggle with:

  • Deciding which projects to admit into the round with limited information
  • Keeping track of grantee progress across multiple rounds
  • Helping funders make informed decisions based on project history and impact

The Solution

Karma GAP simplifies grant tracking, accountability and impact measurement:

  • Grantee Updates on Gitcoin – Grantees post updates on GAP, and they automatically appear on their Gitcoin project profile where funders go to support projects.
  • Better Project Evaluation – Use these updates as an additional data point when deciding which projects to approve for your round.
  • AI-Powered Insights – Our AI assistant, Karma Beacon, makes it easy for funders to analyze past impact, funding history, and milestone completion through simple queries.
  • Funding Between Rounds – GAP helps track progress between rounds, making it easier to identify and reward projects that actually deliver.
  • Impact Measurement – GAP automatically tracks GitHub activity and onchain metrics for OSS projects. Grantees can also add custom metrics to showcase their progress. All activities and outcomes are tracked, giving funders and the community full visibility into project impact.

If you’re running a Gitcoin grant round, Karma GAP can make your job easier and your funding more impactful. Get in touch with us today on Telegram or Discord to onboard your community and round. We are also open to implementing new features based on your needs.
