The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) in conjunction with crowdfunding-company Patronicity facilitate the CreatINg Places program. CreatINg Places employs a donation and reward-based method of crowdfunding called “crowdgranting”.
Through this 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.
