Collective Impact Forum

collectiveimpactforum.org – The Collective Impact Forum exists to support the efforts of those who are practicing collective impact  across the world.

This site is a place to find the tools and training that can help achieve success. It’s an expanding network of like-minded individuals coming together from across sectors to share useful experience and knowledge and thereby accelerating the effectiveness, and further adoption, of the collective impact approach as a whole.
