The company
ImpactNow is a digital donation platform for German nonprofits, Vereine and NGOs, combining web widgets, an app and a contactless point-of-donation system that turns any smartphone at an event into a tap-to-pay terminal. Donation receipts are generated automatically for the DACH region, payouts settle through established payment partners, and donor data sits in one dashboard with a built-in CRM for campaigns and supporter communication.
Cash is disappearing from collection tins and street fundraising, while German nonprofits still have to issue compliant donation receipts for every gift. Doing both digitally, without fixed software costs, is what ImpactNow is positioning around.
The company was founded in 2026 and is based in Buseck, Germany. Details on the origin are thin for now; the company says its focus is squarely on nonprofit organisations in the DACH region.
ImpactNow is listed with founder Lorenz Schaible, and the company says the team combines experience in communications, marketing and product development for nonprofit organisations — the three functions a fundraising tool has to serve at once.
