CitySourced is an enterprise civic engagement platform. CitySourced provides a mobile app in order for citizens to identify and report non-emergency civic issues, such as public works, quality of life, and environmental issues. It also incorporates a Civic Crowdfunding Platform for organizations to raise funds for civic projects. The service is part of the e-Government or gov 2.0 movement, which aims to connect government and citizens through the use of technology. The application is compatible with any iOS devices, including iPhone and iPad, Android devices, Blackberry devices, Windows Phone devices, and Windows computers. ==History== In 2006, Jason Kiesel formed FreedomSpeaks.com, a non-partisan political social network that allows its members to write letters to their publicly elected officials. In the summer of 2009, the group created the original CitySourced mobile application. Then in September 2009, the CitySourced product official launched at the 2009 TechCrunch50. During the Q&A process, Kevin Rose stated of the application: ''"I’d like a stream for my neighborhood of things that need to take action on."'' In March 2013, the company launched ZenFunder, a Civic Crowdfunding Platform for municipal governments and schools systems to raise additional funds for specific projects. ZenFunder provides a "free version" that charges 7% plus 3% payment processing from contributions, and a "premium version" that charges 5% plus 3% payment processing along with an annual fee.〔(CitySourced website: ZenFunder )〕 As of 2014, the application covers 40+ million users and has been deployed and contracted directly with governments in 7 countries, including United States, Canada, Australia, Panama, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and Bermuda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CitySourced」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
