Encast strengthens influencer-fan relationships by blending philanthropy with shared passions, driving deeper engagement, loyalty, and impactful experiences.
Current Status
Encast showcases its platform through initiatives like Finding Home ATX, aiming to end unsheltered homelessness, and Inspire Austin, spotlighting philanthropy of influential Austin brands. These efforts demonstrate Encast's capabilities and set the stage for expanding our impact, engaging influencers and brands in meaningful philanthropy.
Problem or Opportunity
Encast enables influencers to deepen connections with fans by aligning philanthropy with shared values, enhancing authentic relationships. Our platform addresses the imbalance in philanthropy, where 90% of $450 billion goes to the top 10% of causes, democratizing support across diverse causes and amplifying influencers' social impact.
Solution (product or service)
Encast combines influencer outreach with philanthropy, enabling fans to donate and volunteer in ways that reflect shared values, enhancing social impact. This not only strengthens fan-influencer connections but also diversifies support for various causes, enriching the philanthropic landscape.
Business model
Encast's business model centers on subscription fees from influencers and brands using our platform for philanthropic fan engagement. We aim to expand revenue through strategic partnerships in HR, Financial Services, and Payment Systems, complemented by professional services. This approach allows us to scale philanthropy accessibly and impactfully, harnessing influencers and brands to activate their communities for positive change.
