‹ How It Works
Flexible Finish
ioby has a unique Flexible Finish policy that allows you to revise your budget should you need to make changes during the course of your fundraising campaign. We understand what it's like to lead projects like the ones on ioby. Sometimes your goals change, sometimes you want to take advantage of an opportunity, and sometimes the world can just be unpredictable. We want you to be as nimble and flexible in your work as possible, so we allow you to adjust your goal at any time. To do this, all you need to do is communicate the change to your project support manager in the form of a revised budget that accounts for the difference between your original budget and the new one. And not to worry, if you're getting close to your goal and know that you could possibly go over, our your project page will automatically continue to accept donations beyond your original goal, so you won't miss a single cent that donors want to give you.Here are some scenarios that frequently occur in real-life that provided the rationale for us to make this policy.Scenario 1: You're close to reaching your fundraising goal, but your volunteer workday is a week away. You know you can get the project done with slightly less funds than you budgeted for and you want to disburse funds to purchase materials you need for your workday. Flexible Finish: Send your project support manager an email with a revised budget describing how you'll complete your project with fewer funds raised than you originally planned.Scenario 2: You're in the middle of a fundraising campaign and it's going better than you ever expected. You think you can probably raise more money than you originally planned. Flexible Finish: Send your project support manager an email with a revised budget describing how you'll complete your project with more funds raised than you originally planned.
