Change by Us Philly was launched by CEOs for Cities, Local Projects and Code for America in collaboration with City of Philadelphia. The new civic engagement platform was co-created by national urban advocacy non-profit CEOs for Cities and Local Projects — known for its innovative work on StoryCorps and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. After launching in New York, the platform was made open source by Code for America, a public service fellowship for technologists, who have generously donated their time to expanding Change by Us. Change by Us is funded nationally with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Case Foundation.
