Starting in 2017, ioby is working with residents across St. Louis to help get neighborhood projects funded and in the ground!
ioby believes that it should be easy to make meaningful change “in our backyards,” the positive opposite of NIMBY. Through providing an affordable online platform paired with customized one-on-one fundraising coaching, we help resident leaders plan, fund, and implement projects that make their neighborhoods safer, greener, more livable, and more fun.
Across the country, ioby leaders have raised millions of dollars in tax-deductible donations for neighborhood projects!
What would you do to improve your neighborhood? Tell us your idea below and you can start crowdfunding as soon as tomorrow. Once you submit your idea, someone from our team will be in touch to discuss your specific fundraising needs, offer tips, and answer your questions. We’ll be here to support your success through every step of your campaign, so you can bring your idea to life!
Want to learn more? Join us for a webinar to learn top fundraising tips based on the 1,500+ succesful local crowdfunding campaigns we've supported so far.
Questions? Or want to talk about your idea and see if it's a good fit for funding on ioby?
