The grants process consists of five parts, each of them described in more detail below:

**(i) Grant application process:**

To apply for a grant of the Web 3.0 Foundation Open Grants Program, You shall comply with the procedures established in the README.md file under <https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program> as well as the process defined inside this document.
To apply for a grant of the Web 3.0 Foundation Grants Program, You shall comply with the procedures established in the README.md file under <https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program> as well as the process defined inside this document.

To apply for a grant of the Web3 Foundation Open Grants Program, the grantee needs to fork (= create a copy on GitHub of) the Open-Grants-Program GitHub repository. In the newly created fork (=copy on GitHub), the grantee has to create a copy of the application-template.md. The copied application-template.md needs to be renamed as "project_name.md". "Project_name" needs to be replaced with the name of the project application. Additionally, the grantee has to fill out all mandatory parts of the application-template.md presented in bold letters. Once the grantees have completed the application, they need to create a new pull request (= in this case, a mechanism to submit the changes of the fork to the original Open-Grants-Program GitHub repository) by clicking on the "create new pull request" button shown inside the fork of the W3F Open-Grants-Program GitHub repository. After this, the grantee needs to sign off the terms and conditions presented via the CLA assistant.

**(ii) Application review process:**

The Web 3.0 grants committee, which is specified on the [Open-Grants-Program GitHub repository ](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program)(the "Grants Committee"), can issue comments and request changes on the grant application pull request (the submission of the grant application on GitHub). As soon as 1/3 of the Grants Committee approves the pull request, the terms and conditions are signed off and all requested changes are addressed, the application is officially accepted. The application is now a part of the [W3F Open-Grants-Program GitHub repository](https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program). The time point of the acceptance by the Grants Committee is hereby stored on GitHub and counts as the official beginning of the grant. The original submission is stored with a unique commit hash (identifier) and can not be altered by any party. The final version approved by the Grants Committee of the Specifications, the Time Schedule and Milestones will be placed in the applications folder of the W3F Open Grants Program Repository at <https://github.com/w3f/Grants-Program/tree/master/applications> via the merge function of GitHub.
