Help shape your community, and select this year's MicroGrants projects!

We're excited to be launching a new experiment in local direct democracy with this year's MicroGrants for Neighbours cycle. Anyone from the Cortes community (Cortes residents, folks who grew up on the island, and people currently living elsewhere but who volunteer for an island-based non-profit) can log in and make their suggestions on which project applications should get funded.

This is a pilot project, and a brand-new, custom-made, local voting system. Please let us know if you have any challenges with the system, and remain patient as we do our best to address them. You're welcome to vote on your friends projects, but please remain kind, fair, and considerate. All projects must be voted on before the page will let you submit your votes.
