# Create a Proposal Creating a proposal is the process through which members can suggest changes or initiatives for the community to consider. Proposals are submitted for discussion and voting, allowing participants to actively shape the direction of the community. There are currently two types of proposals that affect distribution: [**Signaling proposals**](/proposals/signaling-proposals.md), which do not request tokens and [**Funding proposals**](/proposals/funding-proposals.md), which do. To create a proposal, members must provide collateral, serving two purposes: first, to prevent spam proposals, and second, to act as security in case of disputes. Once the proposal is executed, the collateral is returned to the member. --- # 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. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.gardens.fund/growth/create-a-proposal.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
