PAID WORK FOR WHEELS ALUMNI AND FAMILIES... CHECK OUT IOBY...

While the average budget for ioby projects is around $4,000, many are larger scale. If you have your sights set high, your budget—and fundraising skills—will have to rise to the challenge. Crowdfunding large amounts of money on ioby is totally doable, but it takes some extra planning. In our Rainmakers series, we’re sharing stories and tips from Leaders who have successfully raised $10,000 or more for their ioby campaign. In our first edition of ioby Rainmakers, Director of Downtown Environment for the Downtown Denver Partnership (DDP), Aylene McCallum, tells us how she built and coached her team into being confident fundraisers, how her campaign enhanced community buy-in and more! Read how Aylene successfully crowdfunded over $36K and improved bike safety in Denver.    Are you ready to learn first-hand how ioby Rainmakers are raising big bucks? Take a well-deserved lunch break on June 28th at 1 pm ET and join us for a webinar about raising big bucks for your local neighborhood project. Don’t forget—we offer resources and fundraising coaching nation-wide.  Sign up and join us! Or submit an idea and we’ll connect you with your very own Leader Success Strategist, a real live person who will support you throughout your journey, from launching a crowdfunding page to fundraising and building your project.
