[Non-Constitutional] Funds to Bolster Foundation’s Strategic Partnerships Budget

Voting “Against” as this currently stands.

I know this is going to be perceived as a very “cut off your nose to spite your face” type of response but taking a step back this is a large ask that 1) as other delegates have mentioned doesn’t seem to have much detail as I would expect for the size of the request 2) doesn’t feel justified given there are already ARB funds earmarked for the foundation and 3) doesn’t have any revenue generation to soften the blow of funding.

I should add, it sounds like the majority of these funds would go towards grant funding. Which when you start factoring in the various grant programs already ran by the DAO we have seen a massive percentage of the DAO budget going to these types of projects.

I’ll caveat at the end here… this isn’t an opinion of outright rejection of the idea and I see a version of this where I vote to pass… I basically just think that at this time given the size of the request and what I noted above this needs more time in the oven.

Edit: Posting here to save space on the forum. For Tally, I will maintain my “Against” vote as concerns I (and others) noted have not been adequately address IMO.
