The Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP) works with communities across the US and Canada to decide together how to best spend public money. We create and support participatory budgeting (PB) processes that deepen democracy, build stronger communities, and make public budgets more equitable and effective.

Vision

The Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP) believes that another way of governance is possible and essential, which is why PBP collaboratively transforms democracy to center community power. We do this by collaborating with local partners on participatory processes that put real power over real budgets, policies, and decisions in the hands of the communities they impact

Values​

We are rooted in our values in order to transform and expand democracy:

  • Equity & Racial Equity
  • Transparency & Accessibility
  • Support & Experimentation
