Case Study: City of Wichita boosts community engagement and doubles responses with Delib's Budget Simulator

City of Wichita - Customer Case Study

The City of Wichita, a municipal government committed to community engagement, faced a dual challenge: a significant budget deficit and the pandemic-induced loss of in-person interaction. They turned to Delib to utilize their Budget Simulator, a digital engagement tool essential for gathering resident input on difficult financial decisions during this period.

By implementing Delib's Budget Simulator, the city streamlined its public consultation process. The solution delivered powerful results, more than doubling response rates to 3,165 participants and capturing a dramatic shift in community priorities, including a call for a decrease in police funding. The data provided a crucial snapshot of public opinion during a time of national unrest and was presented directly to city leadership, demonstrating the measurable impact of Delib's platform.
