To increase your chances of receiving funding from the Union DAO Sponsors, please cover the following topics in your proposal:

1. Describe a Clear Value Proposition

Clearly explain what your project aims to achieve and why it's valuable. Outline the specific problem or opportunity you're addressing within the Alien Worlds ecosystem. Define what success looks like and how your project contributes to the overall growth of the game or community.

2. Explain How It Benefits Players

Describe the direct benefits your project will provide to Alien Worlds players. Will it improve gameplay, offer new earning opportunities, or introduce new experiences? Make sure to clearly state how players will engage with and benefit from your proposal.

3. Explain How It Benefits the Community

In addition to benefiting individual players, highlight how your project will contribute to the broader Alien Worlds community. Will it foster collaboration, create more community-driven content, or increase overall participation? Strong community benefits are a key factor in successful proposals.

4. Estimate Project Duration

Provide a realistic estimate of how long your project will take from start to completion, only one phase or milestone per proposal - the point being people will not get paid for half a milestone. Break this down into phases if necessary, add a roadmap if available and ensure the timeline reflects achievable milestones. It's important to set clear expectations for when results can be expected.

5. Divide and Describe Project Milestones

Break your project into key milestones and deliverables [each with its own proposal - think through when you need to recieve support]. Outline what you plan to achieve at each stage and set target completion dates. Each milestone should have a clear output or result that demonstrates progress toward the final goal. A proposal can be a single or multiple milestones.

6. Funding Request

Be transparent about the funding you are requesting. Provide a detailed budget that explains how the funds will be used, whether it's for development, marketing, or other resources. Make sure your funding request aligns with the scope and duration of the project.
