Fellow Citizinvestors , Citizinvestor's mission is to empower citizens to invest in their community. Last week, we announced a new way in which we are fulfilling that mission by powering the City of Boston’s participatory budgeting project that will allow youth to allocate $1,000,000 of the City’s budget.   This is the first time we have customized our technology to meet the unique needs of one of our government partners - something we expect to do much more of in the future.
