19 The Principles of Collective Impact 19

20 Traditional approaches are not solving our toughest challenges Organizations work separately and compete Large scale change is assumed to depend on scaling organizations Isolated Impact Corporate and government sectors are often disconnected from foundations and non-profits Source: Channeling Change: Making Collective Impact Work, 2012; FSG Interviews and Analysis. 20

21 Imagine a different approach multiple actors working together Collective Impact recognizes that no single organization is responsible for a major social problem Isolated Impact Collective Impact So no single organization can solve it Source: Channeling Change: Making Collective Impact Work, 2012; FSG Interviews and Analysis. 21

22 There are five conditions of Collective Impact All participants share a vision for change that includes a common understanding of the problem All participating organizations agree on the ways success will be measured and reported A diverse set of stakeholders, typically across sectors, coordinate a set of differentiated activities All players engage in frequent and structured open communication Independent, funded staff dedicated to the initiative provides ongoing support Backbone Support Independent team dedicated to the partnership 22
