The 2021 NYC COVID-19 Neighborhood Relief Match Program is closed.
With the generous support of Robin Hood, this ioby match program provided matching dollars up to $15,000 to ioby crowdfunding campaigns for projects that helped low-income communities respond to and recover from the economic and social impacts of COVID-19.
New York City is tough, but we'll all need to step up and lend a hand to weather this crisis. Even as COVID-19 hits our city hard, it's hitting some neighborhoods even harder. We're seeing the fault lines of inequity being exposed, and a long history of disinvestment has left low-income neighborhoods at particular risk. But we also know that those very same neighborhoods have a long history of resistance, joy, community, and power. We'll need to lean on those strengths, and one another, now more than ever. ioby has your back.
When you crowdfund for a project that provides relief for low-income neighbors who might be hardest hit by this crisis, we'll match up to $15,000. Relief projects should be led or co-led by residents of the neighborhoods that projects take place in, and/or people personally affected by the issues the project addresses. Project leaders should have strong relationships with the communities they plan to serve.
Match dollars are available on a first-come, first-served rolling basis until funding runs out. When you crowdfund with ioby you'll get access to our free resources and support guides, as well as tailored one-on-one coaching to help set you up for success. While you fundraise, donations to your page will be instantly doubled so your fundraising work goes twice as far.
Donate to a project and get your donation doubled:
As always, please remember to follow the CDC's guidelines and your local health authority's instructions as you support your community.
