Impact & Influence

Accessible social impact knowledge

Impact & Influence connects people who care with the knowledge to act on it. We make social impact accessible, share ideas out loud, and move the sector forward together.

Free · 4 weeks

The Impact & Influence Challenge.

You don’t need a big following to make a real difference. In four weeks, turn your platform into one concrete action for a cause you care about, and see what it actually did.

Next round starts [Month Day]. Open to creators and anyone with a social account.

01

Find Your Cause

Pick the issue you actually care about and your audience will believe.

02

Find the People Doing the Work

Meet the nonprofits already on it, with a checklist to vet them.

03

Use Your Platform

Share one giving or action step, using the nonprofit’s own donation tools where they have them.

04

Show What It Did

Report back with real numbers: gifts, sign-ups, hours.
