Frequently Asked Questions

My Impact Meter (MIM) is a central digital platform to facilitate and track charitable donations. Donors (impactors) can gift services like groceries, education, skills training, and health care to deserving people (impactees). Donors (impactors) can also donate to NGO's.

Impactor is the donor who uses the MiM platform for gifting services or giving donations to verified charities on the MiM platform. Impactors can download the My Impact Meter application from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Impactee is a beneficiary (deserving person) on the MiM platform. Impactees can only be added by an impactor or by an NGO. 

Impactees added by NGOs will be visible to all impactors, and any impactor can add them to his/her list of impactees. 

An impactee added by an impactor will only be visible to the impactor who has added the impactee. The impactor may choose to share the impactee with an impact buddy. 

  1. My Impact Meter platform provides complete visibility, trust, personalization, and transparency to charity giving. 
  2. You know whom you are giving to, and you know that your money was used exactly for what it was intended to be used for. 
  3. The platform ensures equitable distribution of resources by proving full visibility to impactors. 
  4. Once there is an impactee on your list, you can see the entire history of your own and others’ contributions to that impactee. 
  5. If an impactee has already been helped with monthly staple food or school fees, then you can choose to help another impactee who has not been helped yet. 
  6. It also provides convenience and simplicity. Impactors can donate while sitting in their home, on the job, or while on their vacations in or out of the country. 
  7. Using the MIM platform, Impactors give their charity with a click using their credit/debit cards, their in-app wallet, or JazzCash and can easily track their records. 
  8. It helps create inspiration and trust through social connections. 
  9. You can make Impact buddies, share requests with each other, and see each other’s impact (depending on privacy settings). 
  10. Inspire each other to create meaningful social impact to completely eradicate poverty in Pakistan. 

Even though Pakistan is one of the most charitable nations in the world, charity in Pakistan is consumptive and fragmented. Whereas our charity may feed someone for a day, it does not provide a family with long-term food security. It is also besieged with a lack of trust and visibility. The money given to support a family with food and education may very well end up in drugs, gambling, or something else for which it was not intended. The other problem in Pakistan is the unequal distribution of resources within the poor class. Some people beg and ask many to help them, and others do not ask at all. As a result, some get a lot (they may be getting the school fee of their child from multiple sources), while others get nothing at all. 

At My Impact Meter (MIM), we're revolutionizing charitable giving. By leveraging technology, we add transparency, trackability, visibility, equitability, personalization, and simplicity to your charity. 

Just like friends on Facebook or connections on LinkedIn, impactors can invite other impactors to become their impact buddies. They will be able to see each other’s impact and will be able to share impact with each other. 

All those commercial service providers from whom impactees can redeem their gifted services are called Impact Suppliers. These include grocery stores, schools, colleges, universities, and vocational and technical training institutes.

MIM is creating a system in which individuals, communities, and organizations are motivated and incentivized to come together and help reduce poverty. 

My Impact Meter is a registered private limited organization in the Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the name of My Impact Meter Pvt. Limited. It is also a registered organization in the United States of America (USA) and the British Virgin Islands (BVI). 

MIM is not collecting or saving any sensitive data like live location or credit/debit card information. MiM has partnered with Bank Alfalah and a fintech company, Paymob, to securely process Impactor payments. 

The impact footprint of the impactors is only visible to their impact buds. Impactors can set the privacy settings of their profiles as private, which will hide their impact footprint even from their Impact Buddies. 

There are two types of impactees: 

  1. Impactees added by the Impactors: No one can see their details except for the person who has added them or anyone that the Impactor chooses to share the information with (Impact Buddies). 
  2. Impactees added by NGOs: These are verified Impactees who can be searched by any Impactor, but their mobile numbers are not visible to the Impactors. 
  1. In the case of groceries, MiM charges 1% to Impactor while the banking gateways charge 3%, so the total charge to the donor is 4% per transaction. The donor has the option to pay these charges separately when gifting groceries. 
  2. In the case of education, My Impact Meter negotiates with the education provider. Our charges to the provider are always less than 10%. The premise is that they should not increase their fee; instead, they should include MiM charges as part of their fee. So, from an impactor perspective, there is no charge. 
  3. In the case of an NGO, My Impact Meter negotiates with the NGO. Besides providing new streams of funding, we also provide a fund management system and international payment gateway to the NGO. The premise is that the NGO incurs costs to do all these activities by themselves,ich is on average about 30%. We try to charge a fee whithat lower than the cost of the NGO to raise and manage funds. Our charges to the NGO are always less than 10%. In this case also, from an impactor perspective, there is no charge.

Crowdfunding is a way of raising money online by multiple funders to finance projects and businesses. 

My Impact Meter (MiM) is a social enterprise that is a digital platform that provides a centralized medium from which all charitable donations can be routed. These donations can be towards NGO causes and packages or towards gifting services such as groceries and education directly to impactees (beneficiaries). 

Impact levels are based on the computation of Impact credits, which are described later in the FAQs. Every level raised after the completion of required Impact Credits. Impact Levels are as follows:  

  1. 0-999                Level 0 
  2. 1000-1999        Level 1 
  3. 2000-3999        Level 2 
  4. 4000-7999        Level 3 
  5. 8000-15999      Level 4 
  6. 16000-31999    Level 5 
  7. 32000-63999    Level 6
  8. 64000-127999  Level 7 

For every charitable donation made through the platform by impactors, they earn impact credits. Each Impact credit is equal to 1 mg of gold. This is dynamically calculated at the time of the donation.  

We will be bringing a comprehensive plan for the use of impact credits for the larger good of society where an individual’s impact will be matched by the partner organizations.
