Growing communities together
<p>Patronicity is an online hyper-local crowdfunding platform that allows both <br />small businesses and communities to foster a “shop local” culture –<br />encouraging citizens of an area to discover, support, and buy from locally <br />owned businesses. We accomplish this by helping local businesses raise <br />small amounts of capital through online donation-based crowdfunding for <br />specific growth-related projects and incentivizing donors with value-adding <br />rewards tied to the business. In this way, we create a series of win-wins –<br />the business wins because it is able to raise money to grow, the donors win <br />because they receive a value-adding incentive for their donation, and the <br />community wins because businesses are thriving and patrons are walking <br />the streets</p>
