Hey, thanks for the feedback.

> **Community Building Module: 300k**  
> It seems to me that this is too much money for the formation of a module. I propose to either lower this value for Tally, or specifically explain where this amount comes from.

The community building module includes:

- 2 Hackathons (70k each including all the prizes, venue, etc etc)
- 6 Unconferences (2 IRL and 4 online, also including all the venue, logistics, etc etc.)
- Weekly online events (trainings, pitch practice workshops, expert/thought leader talks, speed networking, etc)
- A dedicated community manager to attend the events and engage 1-1 with participants, build relationships, facilitate introductions, etc.

> - **Admin (Operations and Overhead): 700k**  
> This amount is generally unclear where it came from; everyone would like to receive 700k in six months, but this is an inadequate amount for an administrator’s salary.
> - **Operational overhead costs are up to 50% of grants**. This is a very significant part of the cost.

please note these are not only admin costs. Compared to a regular grant program, the proposed programs include a significant dose of support (mentorship, workshops, training, etc.) which is critical for early-stage projects. I imagine these concerns are mostly related to OV and EVM Capital as we (RnDAO) already provided a [detailed breakdown in our proposal](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-non-constitutional-rndao-proposal-for-an-arbitrum-collab-tech-business-cluster/21339/7)and you mentioned support. So I’ll ask EVM and OV to provide further details (or please correct me if I’m wrong and you’d like to see more from our side).
