# DAO Drops V1 Scope

DAO Drops was initially a project led by dOrg and backed by a grant from the Ethereum Foundation. The purpose of the project was to decentralize the decision-making power of where the EF's funds are allocated. The purpose of this research is to inform the product design, and potentially also to serve as a resource for finance allocation governance in the Ethereum ecosystem.
