Impact Local helps users discover, research and donate to nearby charities that are making our communities stronger. We've created an amazing tool that helps lower the barriers to donating and gets younger generations excited about giving back!
The idea for Impact Local came from an encounter while walking down the street in NYC. I came across a person in need and wanted to help out, but didn't have his wallet. Then it hit me... why isn't there a way for people to pull out their phones, find the local food bank and donate $10?
Impact Local seeks to both disrupt a large addressable market (almost $500b!) and positively benefit society. Only 12% of donations in the US are done online today and the data shows that younger generations (especially millennials) are already more generous on average than older generations.
