Mission Statement
ioby mobilizes neighbors who have good ideas to become powerful civic leaders who plan, fund, and make positive change in their own neighborhoods. ioby is a community of donors, volunteers and leaders creating, funding and implementing neighborhood projects that aim to make their neighborhoods stronger and more sustainable. ioby operates primarily through ioby.org, a digital crowd-resourcing platform that supports these resident-led, neighbor-funded initiatives in raising tax-deductible donations, volunteer recruitment, and idea sharing.
About This Cause
Crowd-resourcing, combining concepts in crowd funding and resource organizing, allows anyone to organize all types of capital — financial capital, social capital, in kind donations, volunteer muscle — from within the community where the project is taking place. ioby launched in 2009 as a NYC pilot. Since then we've grown into a national organization, serving projects in more than 260 places, with more than 2,500 projects completed with support from over $10M in citizen philanthropy. ioby was recognized by the Obama Foundation for contributions to civic innovation, was awarded the Jane Jacobs Medal by the Rockefeller Foundation, and an American Civic Collaboration Award for increasing civic participation.
