Philadelphia’s City Budget is more than just numbers – it’s a reflection of the city’s values, priorities, and future. Yet, the budget process can feel boring, complex, and inaccessible. The People’s Budget Office wants to change that.
Founded in 2021, the People’s Budget Office transforms the municipal budgeting process into an inclusive, creative, and community-driven experience. They use public art, education, and advocacy to empower residents to engage directly in shaping how public funds are allocated.
By making the budget process transparent, accessible, and playful, they ensure that all Philadelphians—regardless of background, age, or experience—can have a say in how their city is built and resourced.
