About Plaza
Civic change,
finally in one place.
Plaza is a civic technology platform where communities vote on and fund real local initiatives — then watch every dollar build something real. We're closing the loop that every civic platform before us left open: discuss, vote, fund, execute, document.
Talk is free. That's why nobody listens to it. Plaza gives community members a way to demonstrate genuine civic will — not a petition signature, but a dollar pledged toward a specific outcome. That signal is what moves the people who control budgets.
Plaza Civic Inc. is a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation. We are not a government agency. We are not funded by advertisers. We exist to serve communities.

Our values
01
Community first
Every initiative starts with verified community data. We don't decide what neighborhoods need — communities do, through a democratic process we facilitate and document.
02
Radical transparency
Every dollar is designed to be traceable. Every decision is documented. Every outcome is published. We build trust through visibility, not promises.
03
No perverse incentives
Plaza is ad-free and algorithmically neutral. Our incentives are aligned with community outcomes — not engagement metrics, not advertiser relationships.
