2024 Patronicity Annual Report

We use civic crowdfunding to build vibrant communities. Learn more about our impact in our 2024 Annual Report.

Dear Patronicity Community,

Reflecting on the past year, I am filled with joy and gratitude for our remarkable strides together. 2024 was a year of meaningful growth in terms of the communities we serve and how we operate internally. With a mission to build vibrant, connected communities, we spent last year laying the groundwork to reach even more changemakers and amplify their work.

Throughout the year, we witnessed firsthand the incredible changes crowdfunding can bring to communities. From placemaking projects and sustainability initiatives to small business support, each project funded represents a step toward more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient neighborhoods.

Looking ahead to 2025, our commitment is clear: we aim to expand our resources as capacity builders, enabling more changemakers to harness the power of crowdfunding and crowdgranting. We strive to educate and empower individuals, organizations, and communities to take ownership of their dreams and turn them into actionable projects. Together, we’re not just funding projects—we’re nurturing a movement of community-led change.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your support and dedication fuel everything we do, and we are excited to continue growing together in the coming year.

With gratitude,

Ebrahim Varachia
President & Co-founder, Patronicity
