Durham, NC participatory budgeting program

In uitvoering

The City of Durham launched a participatory budgeting program which sets aside a portion of the city's budget and asks residents to vote online on how to use the funds. In 2018, over 10,000 residents voted to disperse $800,000 among various one-time projects such as adding solar panels to bus shelters and funding an LGBTQ+ youth center. In 2021, the city council allocated $1 million and residents nominated 22 local non-profits helping with COVID-19 to receive a grant of up to $50,000 each.
