# Becoming a Funder

In Lumin, Funders represent the agents who provide resources for project teams. Funders may have different motivations while providing resources; these can be helping a public goods project to flourish, incubating a project, funding their organization's internal workstreams, or running a grant program through Lumin (to learn more, check: [Inverter Use Cases](broken://pages/5h8tVm6fFz2L3VmygowW).) 

In Lumin, there is 2 types of funders: **individual** and **organization**. 

Individual funders can create their user profiles by using thier wallet addresses and start funding proposals ! 

To fund proposals as organization,organizations has to register. Following information is required to get registered: <br>

* Organization Owner
* Organization Name
* Contact Email
* Country of Registration (optional)
* Summary of Organization
* Type of funding (ex. art, DeFi)
* Funding Currency and estimated funding amount
* Treasury Adress

Once Inverter Team review the application, an e-mail will be sent regarding approval or reason for rejection.

While providing funding, Funders are responsible for overseeing their funded proposals. Their main responsibilities **are providing feedback to the progress of the projects they fund and withdrawing funds when they are not satisfied with the Proposal Owners' Proof of Deliverable Completion reports** (to learn more: [Overseeing a Funded Proposal](broken://pages/9SEgZQagqExTG0AZW122)) in overseeing proposals. To help funders to oversee funded proposals, Inverter **will send notifications** when there is;

* &#x20;**an edit on proposal milestones**
* **an addition in proposal milestones**
* &#x20;**a new funder that funds your funded proposal**
* **another funder that drop feedback.**
