The growth of collective impact initiatives around the country gives rise to this dilemma: What happens when several initiatives in one community pursue overlapping missions, members and audiences? How can they reduce competition and redundancy, and increase impact? The Forum for Youth Investment shares lessons from its work with communities to align multiple collective impact efforts, and then turns to two cases studies: Leaders from Northern Kentucky will explain how several education-focused initiatives aligned through one backbone organization, while Bartholomew County, Ind., shows how three local partnerships aligned their goals and indicators, and identified areas for joint work.
This webinar, held on Wednesday, November 5, 2014, further explored the themes discussed in the article Aligning Collective Impact Initiatives.
