# Collaborative Funding for the commons

OuiShare has been experimenting with collaborative funding since 2016.

## How does Cobudget it work?

Cobudget is a simple tool based on the concepts of "buckets", which represent budget lines or mini-projects. The tools makes it easy for groups to crowdsource ideas for buckets and then fund them together.

Any one who would like can join our Cobudget group. Get access to the [OuiShare Cobudget](http://cobudget.co/#/groups/80) by asking a Connector or member you are in touch with.

If you are already a Connector, you should already have been added to our cobudget group.
