Grassroots leaders at the neighborhood scale are underfunded, and an overlooked source of innovation for lighter, quicker, cheaper solutions to a number of social problems. We believe that Citizenville’s work to address barriers to grassroots leadership at the neighborhood scale will unleash the full potential of citizen ingenuity and catalyze collective power to fund and implement new local solutions to entrenched problems. Citizenville is an answer to this unmet niche by working intentionally in low-income neighborhoods and in communities of color to provide support to community-driven project ideas. Citizenville provides a robust digital (and physical) platform for these groups to access an important, and often untapped source of funding—the community itself—while also providing a connection to a likeminded community and new potential volunteers. Crowd-resourcing via Citizenville can also be a powerful community engagement tool and demonstrate buy-in, support, and a source of long-term stewardship to other investors.
