Doing Collective Impact— Social Impact Learning Series Workshop, Tuesday, September 22 @ 1pm

Tuesday, Sept. 22 1-2pm EST. Register here.

Big, entrenched problems have never been solved by one organization working alone. But at a moment when government resources, large institutions, and traditional sources of funding may be retreating, shrinking, or becoming less reliable, the ability of communities and organizations to work collectively may matter more than ever.

Collective Impact offers a framework for doing that work: bringing organizations, institutions, funders, and community members into greater alignment around a shared vision and creating the conditions for coordinated, sustained action. In this one-hour introductory conversation, we'll unpack what Collective Impact is, why it matters, and some of the conditions that help it succeed.

Along the way, we'll share practical lessons from City Rising's Social Impact Studio Notebook—including observations, tools, and insights about Collective Impact that we haven't shared anywhere else. This isn't about one hero organization. In this conversation, we'll explore what Collective Impact really means, the conditions that allow it to take root, and real examples of communities building more equitable systems through shared purpose rather than siloed effort. This isn't about one hero organization saving the day. It's about the collaborative, relational work of building something bigger together. Whether you're new to this framework or looking to deepen how you already practice collaboration, join us for an open, curious conversation about what's possible when we stop working alone.

If Collective Impact is completely new to you or you've been doing collaborative work for years, this conversation will offer an accessible introduction, practical insights, and questions to carry back into your own work. This is a free, public conversation and workshop. Come with your questions, your skepticism, and your curiosity.
