The People’s Money Voting

May 6, 2026 – June 21, 2026

Voting for The Peoples Money is open — now it’s time to decide which projects get funded! Thousands of New Yorkers submitted ideas for community projects this fall, and randomly selected residents from each borough reviewed, refined, and ultimately chose which proposals would advance to the citywide vote this spring. Now, these projects are one step closer to becoming reality — the winning ideas will be funded through the New York City budget and implemented by community-based organizations across the city.
