For the last two years, ioby has operated as a NYC pilot, and has leveraged the web tools on ioby.org to raise more than $150,000 fully funding more than 100 parks, garden, farms, water, rooftop, education, street tree, bee, bird and bike projects in the five boroughs. Today, ioby is finally opening its doors to projects from across the country.

Meet ioby in a 30-second video. Pronounced eye-OH-be (rhymes with Nairobi). Stands for “in our backyards” (like the opposite of NIMBY,… get it?).

We all want to do something good for the earth, and we all want to make our neighborhoods better places to live and grow. ioby uses the power of online crowd-funding and digital engagement to achieve the global goals for environmental change, block by block.

Anyone with a good idea for an environmental project in his or her neighborhood can put their project up on ioby, start raising money, connecting with local volunteers and sharing new innovations in a likeminded community.Whether you have a vision for an urban farm, a cleaner streambed, safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists, better habitat for critters or energy efficiency in affordable housing, if your project is environmental and good for the community, it’s an ioby project.

Because ioby is a nonprofit, all donations to projects are tax-deductible. Also, since ioby’s mission is to make sure more grassroots projects happen in cities, we regularly host match campaigns and have a unique “flexible finish” policy that sets us apart from the rest of the online crowd-funding world.

If you have an idea for a project, get started today on ioby.org/idea or call 917-464-4515 with questions.

Your friends,
Erin, Brandon & Helen
