About the program: 

The People's Budget, Denver’s Participatory Budgeting Program, is a new approach to city decision-making, where people work side-by-side their government to make thoughtful community investments, together. Over the course of a year, people design the program, submit project ideas, and develop those ideas into specific project proposals. Then, the community votes for their favorites and the City constructs the winning projects! To date, more than 6,000 community members have participated and successfully budgeted $3 million toward 13 important infrastructure projects for their neighborhoods.

Each cycle of the People's Budget follows four community-led phases, starting with building a guidebook and ending with a community vote on which projects to fund. Cycle 3 of the People's Budget began this fall with a group of community members, called the Community Steering Committee, who helped lead the Program. They developed a guidebook and set forward an inclusive process for Denver communities.
