Organization description:
ioby stands for “in our backyards,” but it also stands for taking care of each other, for civic participation, and for trusting neighbors to know what’s best for the neighborhood. ioby gives local leaders the ability to crowdfund the resources they need to build real, lasting change from the ground up. Our crowdfunding platform helps connect local leaders with support and funding from their communities to make neighborhoods more sustainable, healthier, greener, more livable, and more fun. We coach residents in crowdfunding, offer fiscal sponsorship if needed, all to power offline change.
