Ioby

Project support: this program comprises all of the services that we provide for projects using the Ioby platform. In addition to the use of Our website and its tools, project leaders benefit from optional coaching, training and technical assistance from the Ioby team In the form of workshops and one-on-one consultations on: project planning and management; match programs; social media and online communications; participation In Our digital storytelling project; and, most importantly, grassroots fundraising. This program also includes all aspects of the limited form of fiscal sponsorship that we offer to projects and management of necessary purchasing and/or funds disbursement after projects are fully funded, as well as subsequent reporting.

Online platformthis program is the functional heart of Our organization and the core of Our unique model; it enables most other aspects of Our work. We design, build and maintain a web platform (ioby.org) focused on meeting the needs of the project leaders we serve and the donors that support their work. This platform is constantly evolving through iterations and enhanced by feedback from both project leaders and donors.

Project outreach & sourcing:this program comprises all of the activities and initiatives we design and manage In order to provide outreach and source new projects that use Ioby to connect with potential donors and volunteers. This includes all Our on-the-ground organizers that we have In detroit, cleveland, and cincinnati, as well as events and communications to keep donors involved and up to date with projects they have supported. We also host outreach activities to promote the work of Our projects to the broader community of interested community activists and neighborhood leaders. We have built strong relationships with hundreds of local community groups and nonprofits across the country, supported thousands of residents shaping their ideas into more than 3,555 projects and since Our founding we have directed more than $19m from more than 50,000 donors.
