The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) in conjunction with Patronicity.com facilitates “CreatINg Places”, a place-based crowdfunding grant program. CreatINg Places employs a donation and reward-based method of crowdfunding called “crowdgranting”. In crowdgranting, citizens actively support projects and activities through web-based donations which, if the fundraising goal is reached within a set time, are matched by a sponsor.
