Projects are a lightweight way for Collectives to manage budgets for initiatives independent of their parent Collectives:

Projects have many of the same features as Collectives: they have their own balances, contributions, and expenses. Projects have their own contribution tiers, goals, and updates. Projects are appropriate when you have:

- you want to collect funds for a specific initiative or idea
- you want to allocate part of an existing Collectives' budget to an effort
- you want to track spending on a subset of activities away from the main Collective

We've been quietly testing project Projects to manage budgets for The Digital Infrastructure Fund while Mautic have been using Projects to support specific initiatives. We'd love to hear what you think about this feature as we continue to iterate on it throughout the rest of the year. Please comment below with your feedback.
