Here’s another great resource: Collective Impact Forum

Local partnerships like all of ours are working collectively to have a greater impact on the lives of kids and families. A great place for resources, tools and advice to this kind of work is the Collective Impact Forum. Here’s more from their website:

The Collective Impact Forum exists to support the efforts of those who are practicing collective impact in the field. While the rewards of collective impact can be great, the work is often demanding. Those who practice it must keep themselves and their teams motivated and moving forward.

The Collective Impact Forum, an initiative of FSG and the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions, is the 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.
