Kansas City organizations now have the capability to partner with ioby (In Our Back Yard) to receive funding for local environmental projects. Originally based in New York City, ioby has launched its platform nationally.
Any non-profit organization or project with fiscal sponsorship can submit a proposal for up to $3,000 for projects with a local environmental connection. Approved projects are given a webpage on ioby.org and can receive tax-deductible donations.
In its first four years, ioby has connected more than $260,000 in donations to 120 projects. The organization emphasizes local connections and has found that the average donor lives just two miles from the projects they fund.
