## Description

✈️ **Get to Centre Point with a Travel Grant!**

To support active builders in the Neo ecosystem, GrantShares DAO is offering travel grants of up to US $2,000 for individuals who need financial assistance to attend [CentrePoint Meetup #1 in Dubai](https://medium.com/centrepoint/introducing-centre-point-1-dubai-7ae7fc2ec496), May 2-4, 2025.

## Why attend?

- 🚀 **Network & Collaborate** - Engage with top minds in the Neo ecosystem, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to meaningful discussions.
- 💡 **Showcase your work** - Share progress, insights, and challenges with the broader community to drive Neo adoption and innovation.
- 📈 **Shape the future of Neo** - Participate in technical discussions, ecosystem proposals, and roadmap planning to help define the next phase of Neo’s growth.

## Who can apply?

To be eligible for a CentrePoint travel grant, applicants must:

- Be actively building or maintaining a project within the Neo ecosystem.
- Not belong to a sponsored community.
- Not be a member of a team within the Neo Council.

Grants will be limited, and proposals will follow the standard GrantShares endorsement and voting process.

:::note
*These grants are designed for grassroots builders and contibutors in the Neo ecosystem who don't already have financial support that would enable travel.*
:::

## How to Apply?

🚨 **Pay attention to the following when creating your proposal:**

- Submit a proposal via the GrantShares dApp under the category "Request For Funding".
- Include GS-002: Your Name/Nickname in the title. Example: GS-002: Alice NeoBuilder.
- Explain your contributions to the Neo ecosystem and why attending Centre Point will benefit the community.
- Outline estimated travel costs and the amount requested (up to US $2,000). Be as explicit as possible regarding flights, accommodation, etc. A maximum of 5 nights accommodation can be requested.
- Pay attention that this RFP only supports non-luxurious, economy-class travel arrangements. Proposals with excessive or premium travel costs will be rejected.
- Provide a link to your project, website, or relevant social media to verify your work.

We look forward to welcoming dedicated Neo contributors to Centre Point and helping to build a stronger, more connected ecosystem.
