Show budget proposals
Give members a shared view of proposed uses of funds and the information attached to each proposal.
Features
Make shared budget priorities easier to understand
When a group has shared money, members need a clear way to see what is being proposed, what was approved, and how priorities connect to the work the community cares about. RuleTogether brings that conversation into the community space.
The challenge
Budget conversations lose trust when the details are hard to find
Funding choices can become confusing when proposals, notes, and votes live in different places. Members may only hear about a decision after it is made, and organizers have to repeat the same explanation again and again.
RuleTogether helps communities present budget proposals and funding priorities alongside the input and decisions that shape them.
How RuleTogether helps
Practical tools for the work your group is doing
Collect input and votes
Invite the group to consider funding priorities through the same discussion and voting tools used for other decisions.
Keep approved priorities visible
Use budget views to keep approved and allocated proposals easier for the community to follow.
