# Why should I contribute? By making an individual donation, you can have a huge impact on a public good. Contributions of 1 DAI can sometimes mean up to 400 DAI in matching. Your contributions will be met by matching funding, widening the reach of your donation. If 10 persons contribute 1DAI each (= 1 USD) the QF matching will be higher than if only 1 person is contributing 10DAI or 2 persons 5DAI each. TL;DR; - Your contribution is your vote, and it's more valuable than you think. Your money is having a real impact on Gitcoin Grants. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
