11 Neighborhood Projects Seek Crowdfunding

Great neighborhood projects are on the horizon, all through a sustainable lens. ioby has teamed up with The Cleveland Climate Action Fund and Resilient Cleveland to award matching funds, up to $5,000 per project, to residents and community-based organizations for their outstanding projects. This is a competitive match, meaning not all campaigns will receive match funds. Each donation to a campaign below will increase their respective competitiveness in the match. 

 

Check out these 11 neighborhood projects, most of which emerged from our Sustainable Cleveland Summit, and help them spread the word.
