About ioby
ioby helps neighbors grow and implement great ideas one block at a time. We believe it should be easy to make meaningful change “in our backyards” - the positive opposite of NIMBY. Neighbors nationwide have raised over $5.5 million in citizen philanthropy on ioby for projects that make their communities healthier, greener, safer, and more livable. When you post project on ioby you can collect tax deductible donations, find new donors and volunteers, and receive one-on-one fundraising coaching.
This match fund is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from the Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC). Learn more about CAC at cacgrants.org.
