Standing for “in our back yards,” the New York based nonprofit ioby mobilizes local environmental projects funded by small donations from residents. In turn, this green community initiated platform not only gives people the chance to donate, but to volunteer to better their living spaces. Less interested in grandiose ventures, ioby stands by the belief that small everyday changes have an impact and reinforces their motto of, “changing the world, one block at a time.” [Source: ioby]
