What ImpactChat is
Foundations use direct messages and Global Chat to reach grantees and members, and event rooms when a response needs a shared space.
What you can do
Everything below is a screen or a field in the product, not a roadmap item.
Talk across the network, or one to one, without leaving the platform.
Create a room for a response or drive, add sub-rooms, and start from a template.
Launch a fully structured event room from a template in one click.
Write and share a document together beside the conversation.
Ask the group a question with a poll, and call someone in with a mention.
Start an audio or video call from an event room. Everyone in the room is notified and can join while it runs.
Share photos, documents, voice notes and your location, and forward a message.
Keep members-only conversation, including private channels, inside an Internal Matrix, separate from the public chat.
How it runs
Set your chat name
Complete your organization profile, then choose an ImpactChat username the first time you open it.
Join or create a room
Open Global Chat, create or join an event room, or start a direct message.
Coordinate
Share a canvas, poll the group or start a huddle when typing is too slow.
Why this matters for foundations
The problem
Funders hear about problems late and in pieces.
What the platform does
A room or direct message keeps the conversation with the people doing the work.
What leadership sees
Faster answers to the questions grantees would otherwise save for the report.
Is this the right fit?
Honest answer first.
Use ImpactMatrix when
You coordinate with grantees or members and want a shared space.
Use something else when
You need private board communications. Use your own tools for that.
Where this sits in the chain
Every posted need travels the same path. Follow it forward or back.
Questions
Is ImpactChat separate from Internal Chat?
Yes. ImpactChat is the public coordination layer. Internal Chat is confined to an Internal Matrix's members and sits beside the private needs and shipments they concern.
Can we make a room for one disaster?
Yes. An event room can have nested sub-rooms up to two levels deep, and you can start from a template instead of a blank room.
Can we call from the chat?
Yes. Start an audio or video call from any event room. Everyone in the room is notified, and calls end automatically after 10 minutes.
Can we run a room for members?
Yes. Create an event room, invite your members and use sub-rooms for separate workstreams.
One platform. Every day your mission matters.
