Welcome to your Impact Garage

Your Impact Garage is where compassion becomes action. It's your space, in the app or on your block, to gather your energy, your people and your creativity. Raising funds for a shelter, cleaning up the park, collecting diapers for new moms, running a back-to-school drive: it all starts right here with you.

you don't need permission to make an impact. you just need a spark.

  2. Download the playbook

  1. Start with an idea and heart

    Every impact starts with a story: yours. Who or what do you want to support, and why does it matter to you? I want to [help who] because [why].

    tip: lead with love, not logistics.

  2. Find your who

    Who near you is already doing the work you care about? Reach out, share your idea, and confirm how donations, goods or time will be used. Ask if they'll co-promote with you.

    tip: collaboration beats competition.

  3. Let's get ready

    Pick the type (fundraiser, service day, collection drive, cleanup), the date, the place (home, park, school, business or online), and what you'll need to host well. Kid-friendly? Decide up front.

    tip: keep it simple, joyful, and easy to say yes to.

  4. Gather your crew

    Post it in the moms app, text friends directly, share with #MomsEffect #ImpactGarage, and ask your partner org to share it too. Personal invites make the biggest difference.

    tip: share your why, not just the what.

  5. Impact Day!

    Arrive early, welcome everyone warmly, snap photos and short videos, and thank your volunteers all day long. Have fun. This is what community feels like.

    tip: the experience is the impact.

  6. Capture your effect

    What worked? What surprised you? Share your story in the moms app or tag @momseffect, and send a thank-you to your crew. Then start dreaming about what's next.

    tip: a simple thank-you can spark another garage.
