The State of Michigan continues to lead the way for crowdfunding initiatives with the new crowdfunding bill passed earlier in 2014, and now an innovative grant matching program that is the first of its kind in the United States.
If you’re looking to crowdfund a community place-based project the MEDC will match your successful campaign with up to $100K. The program is partnering with local crowdfunding platform Patronicity based out of Detroit. They are specifically looking for community placemaking efforts, like redeveloping a neighborhood building for shared use, an activation of an outdoor space, or creating a local park.
