What makes Impact Threads different?

Impact Threads builds wearable experiences designed specifically for Greek life. Every piece comes embedded with Tap To Impact™ technology that, with a single tap, unlocks an exclusive photo gallery from your event. This gives members and alumni a way to relive those moments for life. From rush week to philanthropy fundraisers to formals, we design around your exact event. We're creating a new standard for what Greek life merch can be.

The Problem

Event merchandise loses engagement after events end. Supporters still wear the shirt, but the connection to the memory fades. Traditional merchandise becomes another shirt tossed in the closet, missing the opportunity to create lasting impact.

The Beginning

It started with two high school students brainstorming ways to make nonprofit apparel more interactive. They experimented with QR codes, but quickly discovered the limitations: codes fade, get damaged, require perfect camera angles, and look clunky. There had to be a better way to bridge the physical and digital worlds.

Introducing Tap To Impact

Our patent-pending Tap To Impact™ patch, technology transforms ordinary apparel into interactive experiences. With a simple tap of a smartphone, supporters instantly connect to your nonprofit's mission, updates, and impact stories. No app required. No scanning. Just tap.

Meet the Founders

Daniel Kauffman

Hi, I’m Daniel. I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and I currently attend Southern Methodist University. I’m studying finance. My involvement in community service began in sixth grade, when I had the opportunity to visit a homeless shelter. That experience left a lasting impression on me and was the first moment I realized I wanted to be part of something that helped people and created real impact. Working with the organizations and causes we’ve partnered with through Impact Threads has been nothing short of a blessing. I love connecting with charities in person and seeing the work they’re doing within their communities, because it is those opportunities where I truly understand why what we are doing is so important.

William Wright

Hi, I’m William. I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and I currently attend Southern Methodist University, where I study Public Policy. My passion for service began at a young age through volunteering with my family at organizations across Atlanta. Those experiences helped shape the way I think about purpose and reinforced my belief that meaningful impact comes from sustained action. Through Impact Threads, I’ve been incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work directly with charities and see that same kind of long-term impact firsthand. Being able to connect with organizations, hear their stories, and help amplify their missions through what we build has been deeply motivating. Working directly with these amazing people behind their causes and seeing the difference they make reminds me why this work is so important.

Today

Today, Tap To Impact™ is at the center of everything we do. We work directly alongside Greek organizations to design apparel that not only represents your chapter, but keeps members connected long after the event ends — through smartphone-enabled patches that unlock your chapters photo galleries with a single tap.

Through these partnerships, we've had the opportunity to collaborate with chapters across the country and see firsthand how a shared piece of apparel can turn a single event into a lasting memory.

We're incredibly grateful for every organization that has trusted us, every member who has worn and interacted with a piece of Impact Threads apparel, and every moment of community that has helped shape what we're building.

At the end of the day, Impact Threads exists because of the people and chapters behind it, we're excited to keep growing, learning, and creating alongside the Greek community.
