These benefits will not be fully covered in the scoped of this proposal. +As per [this Discord poll](https://discord.com/channels/544647726982365194/841482176667189248/844710106888536064), about 37% of active dOrg builders signalled their interest in attending a dOrg retreat. +In the same poll, most dOrg builders preferred that dOrg partially or fully bear the costs of a dOrg retreat and in [a separate poll](https://discord.com/channels/544647726982365194/841482176667189248/844985976278614047), most preferred this retreat to take place in Spain. +While fully covering the costs of such a retreat does not seem realistic at this time (see dOrg's reserve [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mwYhzTNXSytzVtACZLu1V_EVTfjPKhGfHu-KhnBFESk/edit#gid=846347915)), a modest subsidy to limit the costs born by dOrg builders seems in line with the desires signaled in these polls. + + +## Anything else you'd like to add? + +The subsidy will provide partial reimbursement for (the) builder(s) who bear the off-chain costs of group teambuilding activities as well as coordination of those activities. + +## Cost Breakdown + +| Item | Description | $/Hr | Hrs | Cost | +| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------- | ---- | ------- | +| *Reimbursement* | For the expense of group teambuilding activitiese | N/A | N/A| $750 | +| *Coordination*| Research, plan, and organize group teambuilding activities | $50 (25 DAI + 25 DORG) | 10 | $500 | +| | Total | TOTAL| | $1250 (1,000 DAI + 250 DORG) |
