## Funding Information

**Funding description:**

This is a funding proposal to pay for contributor monthly compensation. However, due to the tight deadline set for this month’s payment, payments were already processed last April 6th-10th and this forum post serves as an information on the list of contributors paid for the month.

**Funding Rationale:**

The funds spent paid for the contributors who keep Giveth running as it is. 🚀

Detailed goals, deliverables and budgeting can be found in working group proposals.

It is little concerning for me to see the amount of hours of so many of our team crossing 160 hours which is full time (8 hours per day average) and I wonder how are they doing in their well-being/personal lifes. Some of the hours are almost 9 + average per day. I mean, that sounds like a LOT. I find this report exceptional in that sense…
