Downtown Stimulus: Public Goods Funding for Main St
summary
Demonstrates a real world fiat Quadratic Funding run that moves QF offchain and onto Main Street, using fiat quadratic funding tooling (SimpleGrants.xyz) and a $25,000 matching pool from local philanthropists and Vitalik. Campaign records $116,000 in donor payments from 320 contributors at an average gift of about $40, then allocates roughly $43,000 to downtown Boulder public goods, proving QF scales with credit cards and local donors rather than crypto wallets.
