The Fund It tool is one of our most popular engagement tools and enables you to present your users with options and trade-offs via a budget of points or currency. Today, we are pleased to announce a Variable Funding Mode and Display Mode for our Fund It tool.
Weâve had many requests for a Variable Fund It to enable users to go beyond a fixed cost and use more of their available budget for their favourite options.
Variable Fund It allows you to set a Minimum and Maximum value on each initiative. Whether it be based on Dollars or Points, your community can choose to allocate more budget beyond the minimum to initiatives they are really passionate about.
We all know that being able to communicate important information in a visually appealing manner can be critical to a project. It helps provides layers of context and allows your community to understand more as needed.
With the new Fund It Display Mode, you can now turn off the funding capabilities to transform it into an engaging content tool.
You can read more about these modes in our documentation and release notes. A webinar on variable mode Fund It is coming soon!
In todayâs landscape, having an online community engagement platform is essential to connect with your residents, gather feedback, and involve members in decision-making. However, simply having a community engagement platform isnât enough. To make a real impact, you need to drive traffic to your engagement site, ensuring you hear from a diverse range of voices.
Community engagement is an ongoing process of collaboration and co-learning. When we evaluate our community engagement initiatives, we give ourselves the opportunity to measure our deeper impact and make improvements for future projects.
With the right action plan in place, we can ensure we are connecting with our community on an appropriate level to enhance public decision-making.
