The Community Foundation of Lorain County is partnering with ioby to DOUBLE donations to crowdfunding campaigns for projects that serve neighborhoods in Lorain County, Ohio!
Are you a resident of Lorain County, OH with an idea to make a positive change in your neighborhood? When you crowdfund with ioby to engage your community, we'll double your donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000. This means that if you raise $1,000, ioby will match each donation for a $2,000 total fund; or, if you raise $200, it's doubled to $400 total.
The Lorain County, OH Match Fund supports residents (like you!) as they bring their ideas for positive change in their community to life. Volunteer-led projects and small grassroots groups can receive one-on-one fundraising coaching, fiscal sponsorship, and dollar-for-dollar matching funds up to $1,000 on their ioby crowdfunding campaign in support of projects within Lorain County.
Share your project idea below to get started and double your dollars! Matching funds are available now on a first-come, first-served rolling basis until funds run out.
Wondering how to get match funds? There's no application process! Simply share your idea and we'll confirm within 1-2 business days whether your project is eligible for this match opportunity. Then, you can post an ioby crowdfunding page and begin fundraising, with support from our experienced team of crowdfunding coaches. When you fundraise, donations to your page will be instantly doubled so that your work goes twice as far.
Want help with your fundraiser?
ioby's offers customized crowdfunding coaching for every project leader participating in this match program. After you've shared your project idea with us, we encourage you to set up a coaching call to get on the road to fundraising success! You can also use this link to schedule a call anytime if you're already fundraising with us--we're happy to answer questions about your fundraiser and provide tips for success along the way.
