Dear Nouns,
We would like to open a discussion and make a proposal for a small grant. Our NFT project is called ProNouns. Which we like to call Nouns for Degenz. Our NFT launch will be a mostly Free Mint. This project aims to create a new layer within the Nouns ecosystem.
(This is a draft open to all feedback while answering any/all questions that may arise)
Summary
As we all know the current market is in a weird place; some may even call it pretty bad for now. One of the things that have emerged from the current condition is the “Free Mint” and “Degen” NFT drops.
We feel this is the opportune time to introduce many new collectors and build a new community within the Nouns ecosystem. Many in the space may not be familiar with Nouns as we have been learning or they are priced out. This is the niche we will fill.
We will be offering the lowest barrier of entry with a free mint. Opening the door and making it accessible to thousands. We will then build upon this new community with the goal of making a “launchpad”; a business incubator of sorts. Our community will vote upon the best proposals that would further proliferate NounsDao and submit these proposals to NounsDao and/or LilNounsDAO.
We would also like to support other projects within the Nounish community (one example below with funding request) and would love for Nounish supporters to be a part of the community.
Proliferation of Nouns
As noted we will be onboarding possibly thousands of people within the space and introducing them while educating them on all things Nouns.
From within this new community and the size of it…we are fairly confident that we will find individuals who will come up with ideas to proliferate NounsDao and will get new proposals accepted by this community.
Also, we intend to work together (hopefully) with other Nounish projects and introduce our community to these projects.
Who we are
I and two others are middle-aged gentlemen who have been involved with Crypto since 2016/2017 and NFTs for over a year. At this point, we prefer to remain anonymous and will make a statement shortly in regards because “doxxing” seems to be a trend. We, all three do have the luxury to work on this project full time as we all have been living abroad and fully into Crypto and Web3 for several years.

Funding Proposal
We are asking for a total of 3 Ethereum
This would be used to acquire 8 Lil Nouns with an average price today of around 0.22 ETH
Four Lil Nouns would be kept by ProNouns which would allow us to bring smaller proposals to the LilNounsDAO. The other four will be raffled off (using a provably fair system) to holders of ProNouns. Total 1.76 ETH
The remainder of the funds would be spread amongst purchases of other Nounish projects such as StonedNouns, SharkDAO, and Gnars.
These would also all be raffled away to holders.
We are also open to these raffled tokens being held and dispersed to winners from a NounsDAO wallet if preferred.
One additional ask to the community would be any form of support such as reactions and follows on Twitter ( @pronoun_nft ) to spread the word. We would love to see a vote of validation so to speak from a Nounder but we’re not counting on that as of yet.
For now, we would appreciate any feedback and support. Looking forward to feedback.
Thank you all in advance for your time.
