*What is ioby?*
ioby is a crowdfunding platform, but we're so much more than that. 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. Our crowdfunding platform helps connect local leaders (like you!) with the training and support they need to crowdfund in their communities for projects that make our neighborhoods healthier, greener, more livable, and more fun.
