About iMPACT direct

Our Approach

At iMPACT direct, we believe that solutions getting people out of extreme poverty are already in place by locally-led NGOs. Since these locally-led NGOs are the first to respond and last to leave, they are responsible for most of the impact in development cooperation. That is why we support locally-led NGOs, by:

  1. Showcasing their expertise on our website and in (online) promotion.
  2. Facilitating access to funding to locally-led NGOs.
  3. Providing professionalisation of their organisations, with training, sharing expertise, matchmaking and grants.
  4. Taking a trust-based approach in partnerships. 

Our aim is that in 3 years’ time our partner-NGOs become the best impact-makers in their region. Getting 100,000 people out of extreme poverty with existing solutions on Income (or No Poverty), Zero Hunger and Quality (Vocational) Education, withing and beyond our support.

Simultaneously, it creates more impact for our donors. By directly donating to credible locally-led NGOs through iMPACT direct, they get more value for money for their donation.
