1. Distributing nounish merch is key to giving Nouns proper representation at these events (both IRL and in photos and videos) and long-term representation in these local communities over time.
2. In 2023, Nouns contributed $42k, of which $36.8k went towards pizza and the rest towards Nounish activations (12%). Other sponsors contributed an additional $17k beyond that, so Nouns' contribution represented 69% or less of 2023's total sponsor contribution towards pizza cost.
In 2024, Nouns contributed $69,420, of which $49,020 went towards pizza and the rest towards Nounish activations (29%). Global sponsors contributed an additional $63k and local sponsors contributed thousands beyond that, so Nouns' contribution represented 42% or less of 2024's total sponsor contribution towards pizza cost.
In 2025, we're requesting $88,000, of which $55,000 will go towards our costs and the rest towards Nounish activations (37.5%). Global sponsors including Base, Stand with Crypto, Octant, and others will contribute an additional $175k+ and local sponsors will contribute thousands beyond that, so Nouns' contribution will represent 24% or less of 2025's total sponsor contribution towards pizza cost.
We will continue this trend of funding a larger portion of the Global Pizza Party's costs with other partners' contributions while continuing to present Nouns as a core partner on the event.
> Guys,
>
> 1) Close to 25-30% of your budget is dedicated to nounish merch. I don't see what purpose it solves - having the DAO essentially "buying" merch from vendors and then you distributing it away for free to people? Is the DAO paying people to have these merch? Why not have a plan of procuring lesser SKU at wholesale or (lower even) , sell it at the event and recoup costs that way. Show there is some legit demand generation happening in a wholesome way?

> 2) Is Nouns footing the whole bill of this event ? Are there other co-sponsors, If yes - what is their contribution and whats your total budget.
