Review for ioby, Brooklyn, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I really like IOBY because I felt overwhelmed by the task of finding a green cause to support; I didn't have a lot of money to give, but I wanted to give a series of smaller donations to a cause that would benefit the neighborhood I love. I knew I wanted to give at the grassroots level, but I didn't know where to start looking. A friend pointed me to IOBY and their easy to use website. I liked seeing photos of the different projects and knowing exactly where my $25 would go. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to help keep their neighborhood and all of New York clean.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Really impressive. I'm not always most comfortable on the web, but when I met with Erin and Cassie, two of the IOBY staff, I think I understood the power of microfunding for the first time. Then I gave to my first political campaign in 2009!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Make New York a place where every neighborhood had visible and adequately-funded environmental organizations--the first step toward making New York a clean place to live.
