Description
Impact Stream is a team of technologists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and development experts on a mission to help digital communities create real-world impact. Their platform uses blockchain technology to bring transparency and accountability to international development and poverty alleviation efforts, while empowering local people to solve local problems through verifiable on-chain transactions and community voting systems. The organization built a web app that lets communities worldwide propose, vote on (via quadratic voting), and fund local projects such as solar water pumps, health clinics, libraries, and technology education centers. Their first pilot project launched in villages around Lomé, Togo, West Africa in 2024 in partnership with a global nonprofit, raising over $60,000 USD to fund community-voted projects. Impact Stream partners with NGOs to identify communities in need, and is exploring expansion into new verticals such as anti-human trafficking, while serving donors, local communities, and NGO partners as its primary constituents.Grant Funding
