Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, The Impact Exchange, LLC was founded in 2006 to meet the growing demand for a networked exchange of quality goods, services, and resources between the developing world and the developed world.   

The primary commercial activities of The Impact Exchange are the import, export, and sale of unique goods between regions, and the subcontracting of professional services that can be easily rendered cross-border.  Under this umbrella, TIE funnels profits to projects, businesses, and individuals focused on improving the quality of life in poverty-stricken areas.  Such entities are networked with TIE and also participate in the creation and support of income-generating activities within their respective regions.  This gives rise to TIE’s vision of presenting a sustainable profit-driven model for development, as an alternative to a charity-driven model.

The primary non-commercial activities of The Impact Exchange are the consulting and training of development-focused businesses, and the exchange of expertise, resources, information, and personal networks between the developing world and the developed world.

The prevailing principle behind all these activities is that impact can be achieved on both sides of the globe.  Thousands of people dream of being able to impact humanity for the better, but few truly have the chance.  In the developed world, this is generally because such people are not aware of practical ways they can be involved, and even if they are, there is no time because they must perpetually work for self-focused companies to have a decent standard of living.   In the developing world, such people are likewise trapped in providing for their own needs, but they are further disadvantaged by the lack of stability, expertise, resources, networks, and so forth.  The Impact Exchange strives to create awareness, good-paying jobs allowing people to focus outside themselves, opportunities, markets, and the necessary connections for people to make an impact.
