ioby operates in the civic and social sector by providing a platform that helps leaders mobilize a broad mix of capital—cash, social networks, in-kind donations, volunteers, and advocacy—to drive local, ground-up change. The organization distinguishes itself through a model that combines fundraising coaching, fiscal sponsorship, and intentional community-building to advance community projects. Through its fundraising support, ioby works with leaders to craft effective campaigns, fundraising plans, timelines, and budgets, supporting goals from small efforts to larger initiatives. It offers fiscal sponsorship to groups not established as nonprofits, enabling tax-deductible donations and expanding opportunities for grassroots leadership regardless of incorporation status. Based in Brooklyn, New York, ioby is a small to mid-sized organization serving community organizers and other civic initiatives that aim to mobilize multiple forms of capital to implement local projects. The organization emphasizes offline connection and knowledge exchange, connecting projects with experts in areas such as urban planning and green infrastructure, and hosting regular in-person convenings and webinars to share knowledge, challenges and experiences.
