Optimism Foundation Missions


OP Foundation Missions

What is a Foundation Mission?

In Optimism, Foundation Missions are proposals for specific initiatives that achieve a Collective Intent.

They act as requests for proposals (RFPs) that teams can apply for throughout the season. Missions also typically come with specified grant amounts for their completion.

The idea is simple: you craft what the Foundation has outlined and, in return, you are compensated based on the perceived effort it entails. It's an excellent opportunity if you're keen to contribute but don't have a personal project in the pipeline.
