What is The People's Money?
The People’s Money is a citywide participatory budgeting (PB) process where New Yorkers decide how to spend part of the city’s budget on projects their communities need. This process happens every year and is open to all New Yorkers 11 and older, regardless of immigration or incarceration status.
How does The People’s Money work?
The People's Money consists of four phases and takes two years to complete. The first three phases run in one year, and the last phase, Project Implementation, runs in the second year.
First year:
Idea Generation - Share your ideas!
Borough Assemblies - Join an assembly and shape the ballot!
Voting - Vote on what matters most to you!
Second year:
Project Implementation - Where ideas come to life!

About this process
What is happening in the 4th Cycle of The People's Money?
Voting is now open! From May 6 – June 21, all New Yorkers 11 and older, regardless of immigration status, can help decide how to spend part of the city’s budget by casting their vote for the proposals they want to see implemented in their boroughs. You can vote online or in-person at voting events across the city.
This winter, randomly selected New Yorkers from each borough came together for Borough Assemblies, where they reviewed eligible ideas and heard from community partners and city agencies to identify the projects that would make the greatest impact in their neighborhoods.
Funding Amount: $4 million from New York City's Expense Budget
