Our Method, Collective Impact

Collective Impact (n) - A community coming together around a backbone organization as a team of equals to collaborate on solutions that no one organization can implement on its own.

Collective Impact is a structured way to unite a community of diverse people and achieve truly meaningful social change. By bringing everyone to the table and building relationships between them, Collective Impact accomplishes a community's goals through key elements of success:

• A Common Agenda, collectively putting forth a unified vision of a better community
• Shared Measurements, providing meaningful feedback to everyone involved
• Mutually Reinforcing Activities, avoiding duplication in favor of cooperation
• Continuous Communication, reinforcing trust and relationships between partners
• A Strong Backbone, orchestrating the hard work done through a unified initiative
