Join our June 3rd webinar to celebrate Northside community leadership!
The ioby One Northside Crowdfunding Challenge matched donations to resident-led projects taking an active role in shaping life in the Northside. Neighborhood organizations and leaders catalyzed new support to make the Northside greener, healthier, more sustainable, and more vibrant!
ioby Pittsburgh collaborated with nonprofits, schools, community groups, and individuals to receive one-on-one fundraising coaching and dollar-for-dollar matching funds up to $10,000 on their ioby crowdfunding campaign in support of projects that build the Northside's positive future.
We're still here to support your crowdfunding goals, even though the 2019-2020 matching grant is closed.
How does it work?
When you crowdfund on ioby for a project that is eligible for this match, donations will be doubled instantly so you can raise the money you need twice as fast. If someone donates $25, your page will reflect a donation of $50!
To get started, just share your project idea with us and we'll reach out to confirm that your project is eligible to be matched. Once you've been approved, you can get started crowdfunding and doubling your donations! This match is first come, first served, so the sooner you can get your campaign off the ground the better chance you'll be able to get up to $10,000 in donations matched.

Recorded Webinar: Pittsburgh Artists Building People Power
Pittsburghers don’t wait around to get good done. Since we began our on-the-ground work in Pittsburgh, ioby.org has collaborated with over 200 resident-leaders as they plan, crowdfund, and build positive change in neighborhoods all across the city and region. Pittsburghers working with ioby have raised over $800,000 in small donations to make our neighborhoods thriving and full of opportunity for all.
In this webinar, we celebrate the many projects that got good done with the One Northside Crowdfunding Challenge, and explore in a facilitated panel discussion that explores some of those projects.
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 $6 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 program is made possible with the generous support of the Buhl Foundation and in partnership with One Northside.
