About ioby Cleveland
We’ve got to admit: Cleveland is pretty amazing. When neighbors across the city set out to get good done in the neighborhood, Clevelanders are there to lend a hand. Since we began our on-the-ground work, ioby Cleveland has supported over 930 resident leaders as they plan, crowdfund, and build positive change in neighborhoods across the city. With a median donation of $50, these leaders have raised over $1.8 million in small donations to make Cleveland neighborhoods greener, safer, more livable, and more full of opportunity for all residents. Email cleveland@ioby.org to learn more!
