“Democratizing access to capital empowers communities to be champions of their own sustainable development while encouraging local people to become Patrons of their City.” — Ebrahim Varachia, President & Co-Founder. Patronicity was founded in 2013 in Detroit, Michigan. Patronicity uses crowdfunding as a catalyst for placemaking and community development, connecting granting organizations and patrons with hyper-local changemakers in order to build more vibrant communities. Our vision is to empower changemakers to build healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities and revolutionize placemaking by democratizing funding. Learn more about our work at www.Patronicity.com.
