Ever Wonder if Your Actions Matter? Let’s Prove They Do.

What’s the Problem?

"Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes."

— P.J. O’Rourke

Every day, millions of people feel angry, overwhelmed, or helpless about the state of the world. They care. They donate. They vote. They volunteer. They protest. But they rarely get to see the impact of their actions—and that disconnect is killing momentum.

Social media is flooded with outrage and noise. Petitions are performative. Dashboards track clicks, not change. And people are left wondering: “Is any of this actually working?”

Here’s the Solution

"Vision without action is merely a dream.

Action without vision just passes the time.

Vision with action can change the world."

— Joel A. Barker

LiveImpact.io is a platform where people pledge and track real-world actions—like donating, voting, boycotting, volunteering, protesting, and more—and actually see those actions count.

Think of it as a public dashboard for meaningful engagement. When you take action, it’s tracked anonymously (on the honor system at first), then rolled up into a real-time visualization of our collective impact.

It’s not about what you believe. It’s about what you do.

No ads. No politics. No algorithms. Just a place where real action gets real traction.

Where the Money Goes

"It always seems impossible until it’s done."

— Nelson Mandela

We’re launching this the right way: people-powered from day one. Your contributions will fund the development and launch of our platform, including:

• User-friendly pledge system (donate, vote, boycott, volunteer, protest, amplify)

• Real-time impact dashboard to visualize collective progress

• Cause and action library built for breadth, clarity, and relevance

• Mobile-first web experience with simple onboarding and tracking

• Initial outreach to recruit founding users and partners

We’re working lean—every dollar goes toward building functionality that puts the power of action in your hands.

Your Contribution is Important

"LiveImpact.io wasn’t built to sell your attention.

It was built to honor your intention."

—Rick Zwetsch, Founder, LiveImpact.io

We believe a better future doesn’t just happen—it’s built by people who care enough to act.

LiveImpact.io is being created to make that action visible, meaningful, and contagious. Your contribution isn’t just funding a platform, it’s fueling a movement where every day people reclaim their power to make a difference, together.

This is grassroots infrastructure for a more accountable, participatory world. If that resonates with you, we’d be honored to have your financial support. Any amount is greatly appreciated. :-)

Note: No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for donations.

Why Now?

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now."

— Chinese Proverb

Because the moment demands it. There’s never been a more important time than right now.

People are overwhelmed by performative gestures, endless outrage, and platforms that reward noise over action. Climate disasters are accelerating. Housing is unaffordable. Misinformation is everywhere. Trust in elections, media, and institutions is eroding. Workers feel squeezed. Parents are stretched thin. Communities feel divided—but people still care. They still want to act.

They just need a place to focus that energy, take meaningful action, and see that it matters.

This isn’t a social media app.

This is the foundation for a more accountable, action-driven future.

Who’s Behind This?

"Do not follow where the path may lead.

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

— Muriel Strode (often misattributed to Emerson)

I’m Rick Zwetsch. For the past 16+ years, I've helped mission-driven organizations turn their vision into real impact through strategic planning, social enterprise development, and community engagement. I’ve worked with nonprofits of all kinds, from disability rights groups to food rescue apps to public media networks.

LiveImpact.io is the next step on my journey—a tool built from everything I’ve learned about what people want to do for the causes they care about… and what’s actually getting in their way.

This platform reflects not only my professional experience but also my personal belief that action—big or small—truly drives change.
