This is how impact influencing works - in six steps to your own foundation account

Impact Influencing describes a new way of giving: people make their commitment visible and thus motivate others to become active themselves. Those who show what they are donating for can inspire friends, family, or their own network to join in. A single donation is thus transformed into joint social impact. Visibility plays a central role in this - as does a clear topic, a personal occasion, and an easy way to participate.

In this article, we show you how to put Impact Influencing into practice and start a public foundation account.

1 - Visibility instead of restraint

Many people hesitate to make their giving public. The questions are well-known: Is what I give enough? Doesn't it seem pushy? A good start: making donations visible without creating expectations, while being open about questions or boundaries.

2 - Choosing a personal topic

Getting started is easier when your own commitment is linked to a specific topic, for example gender equality, climate protection, or education. Anyone who identifies with a topic will find it easier to find organizations they want to support and can give others clear guidance.

3 - Setting up a foundation account – and making it public

Your own foundation account on bcause creates structure, transparency, and an easy way to participate. With the premium feature, the account can be shared publicly, including an individual description and organization recommendations. Donors automatically receive a donation receipt and the foundation account grows with every participation.

4 - Using your own channels and occasions

Impact Influencing doesn't need a huge platform. Birthdays, social media, personal conversations, or a newsletter offer natural occasions to share your own foundation account. Those who are active on LinkedIn or run a podcast can also make their commitment more visible there and invite others to participate.

5 - Accepting feedback – experiencing impact

Those who give publicly often experience direct resonance: messages, donations, new contacts. This is motivating and shows that giving can be contagious and fun. A small gesture can trigger a huge chain reaction.

6 - Thinking ahead – new topics, new occasions

Impact Influencing is not a closed process. New topics, changing phases of life, or social developments always offer new impulses. Nutrition, mental health, educational equity - any topic can form the starting point for a new foundation account.
