Annual Report
2015-16
2 Annual Report 2015-16 info@participatorybudgeting.org
We are a nonprofit organization that empowers people to decide
together how to spend public money. We create and support
participatory budgeting (PB) processes that build stronger
communities, make public budgets more equitable and effective,
and deepen democracy.
PB is a better way to manage public money. It is a democratic
process in which community members decide how to spend part
of a public budget. PB gives ordinary people real decision-making
power over real money.
About PBP
How Participatory Budgeting Works
Communities make budget decisions through an annual cycle of meetings and voting.
Each community designs their own participatory budgeting process but most
experiences follow a similar basic process:
After funding, the process starts again, and PB becomes part of the way government works.
Community members
brainstorm ideas for
local improvements
Volunteers develop
project proposals
The community
votes on proposals
The top projects
are funded
3Participatory Budgeting Projectwww.participatorybudgeting.org
NETWORK BUILDING
PARTICIPATION LAB
We help governments, institutions, and organizations to
implement PB processes and campaigns.
We research and develop new tools and practices to make
PB and democracy work better.
We bring together diverse practitioners and community
organizers to help PB grow.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & TRAINING
Our work
We work with partners to grow and deepen participatory budgeting
across North America. We provide technical assistance and training,
develop tools and resources, and build networks among staff,
organizers, researchers, and other PB leaders.
2013: White House Open Government National Action Plan, which promotes PB as a
best practice for civic engagement
2014: Brown Democracy Medal from Penn State University, for the top practical
innovation advancing democracy around the world
2015: Harvard Innovations in American Government Award	 for innovation in
public engagement

5Participatory Budgeting Projectwww.participatorybudgeting.org
New York City, NY
With our support, 67,000
residents voted on how to
spend $37 million in 2016.
We also worked to expand
PB processes to public
housing and schools.
Buffalo, NY
We supported a
successful grassroots
campaign to win city
approval for a pilot PB
process.
Dieppe, NB
We helped implement
a model for small-
scale PB process in a
city of 23,000 people.Chicago, IL
Sullivan High School
students did PB for
$25,000 of their
school’s budget. We
developed a curriculum
for other schools based
on this process.
Seattle, WA
We assisted the
City of Seattle in
implementing its first
PB process. Youth
11-25 years old will
decide how to spend
$700K.
Greensboro, NC
After supporting a
successful organizing
campaign, we fully
implemented the first
municipal PB process
in the South.
6
We build engaged and connected communities that
produce more responsive and equitable budgets. Each
year we expand and deepen the impacts of participatory
budgeting on individuals, communities, and governments.
Impacts
Youth Leaders16-year old Stephen LaFume is a leader in Youth Lead
the Change, Boston’s PB process, helping decide how to
spend $1 million in youth-directed projects.
“My experience in PB was different because
it was about [making] more direct change
where everything counts.”
Learning democracy
NYC High School social studies
teacher Steven Serling got his
East Harlem students involved
in PBNYC. They worked closely
with their Council Member’s
office as volunteer budget
delegates, organized to get
out the vote, and learned the
ways that participation makes
democracy work.

Community LeadersJoni Ricks-Oddie & Keith Oddie are Steering
Committee members and budget delegates for PB
Long Beach.
“It really hit home...that anyone can
submit an idea no matter how large or
small...it can be developed into a real
fundable proposal, and potentially win!
This PB process really encapsulated
the idea that anyone, with the help of
community and the strong support of
city officials, can achieve anything
in our city.”
Innovative Projects
A PB Cambridge winning project
meets two community needs: hunger
and food waste. A new freezer van
will pick up excess prepared foods
from businesses and deliver them to
thousands of residents—that’s
7,000 meals daily!

  • 2. 2 Annual Report 2015-16 info@participatorybudgeting.org We are a nonprofit organization that empowers people to decide together how to spend public money. We create and support participatory budgeting (PB) processes that build stronger communities, make public budgets more equitable and effective, and deepen democracy. PB is a better way to manage public money. It is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. PB gives ordinary people real decision-making power over real money. About PBP How Participatory Budgeting Works Communities make budget decisions through an annual cycle of meetings and voting. Each community designs their own participatory budgeting process but most experiences follow a similar basic process: After funding, the process starts again, and PB becomes part of the way government works. Community members brainstorm ideas for local improvements Volunteers develop project proposals The community votes on proposals The top projects are funded
  • 3. 3Participatory Budgeting Projectwww.participatorybudgeting.org NETWORK BUILDING PARTICIPATION LAB We help governments, institutions, and organizations to implement PB processes and campaigns. We research and develop new tools and practices to make PB and democracy work better. We bring together diverse practitioners and community organizers to help PB grow. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & TRAINING Our work We work with partners to grow and deepen participatory budgeting across North America. We provide technical assistance and training, develop tools and resources, and build networks among staff, organizers, researchers, and other PB leaders. 2013: White House Open Government National Action Plan, which promotes PB as a best practice for civic engagement 2014: Brown Democracy Medal from Penn State University, for the top practical innovation advancing democracy around the world 2015: Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for innovation in public engagement RECOGNIZED BY FEATURED IN

Impacts Youth Leaders16-year old Stephen LaFume is a leader in Youth Lead the Change, Boston’s PB process, helping decide how to spend $1 million in youth-directed projects. “My experience in PB was different because it was about [making] more direct change where everything counts.” Learning democracy NYC High School social studies teacher Steven Serling got his East Harlem students involved in PBNYC. They worked closely with their Council Member’s office as volunteer budget delegates, organized to get out the vote, and learned the ways that participation makes democracy work. 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 15 22 62 185 316 500 Projects funded by PB 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 $1.3m $2.3m $9.9m $29.9m $56.8m $97.5m Dollars allocated through PB

This PB process really encapsulated the idea that anyone, with the help of community and the strong support of city officials, can achieve anything in our city.” Innovative Projects A PB Cambridge winning project meets two community needs: hunger and food waste. A new freezer van will pick up excess prepared foods from businesses and deliver them to thousands of residents—that’s 7,000 meals daily! 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 1650 2500 9800 30,000 59,000 132,000 Total votes in PB PB Processes Each Year
