by The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) in conjunction with Patronicity facilitates the “CreatINg Places” program, CreatINg Places employs a donation and reward-based method of crowdfunding called “crowdgranting”. Through this crowdgranting model, citizens actively support projects and activities through web-based donations which, if the fundraising goal is reached within a set time, are matched by IHCDA.
CreatINg Places aims to generate the public’s involvement in the selection of creative improvements within their own communities, provide funding to see the project through completion, and instill community pride.
