Hanh for ZCG (December 2025)

One of the mandatory rules stated inside zip 1015 outlines:

  1. ZCG SHOULD support well-specified work proposed by the grantee, at reasonable market-rate costs. They can be of any duration or ongoing without a duration limit. Grants of indefinite duration SHOULD be reviewed periodically (on a schedule that the Zcash Community Grants Committee considers appropriate for the value and complexity of the grant) for continuation of funding.

This is the first year the Zcash Community Grants pays an organization for services, in this case the Financial Privacy Foundation. In this first year at no time has there been any discussion or notes in 19 ZCG minute meeting about the reasonable market-rate FPF expenses ZCG.

How do you evaluate the value for money FPF charges ZCG? In Q3 FPF completed 6 meetings and completed 39 transactions for $20 000 usd, Is this value for money?

Thanks
