## Mission Alignment

Builder DAO’s mission is to build and maintain accessible, open-source DAO infrastructure as a public good. All activities outlined in this proposal help amplify, educate, or operationalize the protocol — aligning directly with this mission.

## Funding Request

Over the past few months, Satori has begun taking on more responsibility in the day-to-day Discord management and communication with Nouns Builder users and Builder DAO members. The Builder Buzz newsletter has also been integrated into this role. The funding request for this prop reflects this adjustment.
