Collective Impact Defined

The commitment of a group of important actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a specific social problem.

18

Isolated vs. Collective Impact

Isolated impact Collective Impact

Individual grantees with promising solutions. Work separately and compete Evaluation attempts to isolate a particular organizations impact. Scaling a single organization. Sectors are often disconnected

Social problems and their solutions arise from the interaction of many organizations within a larger system. Working toward the same goal and measuring the same things. Increasing cross-sector alignment and learning Corporate and government sectors are essential partners Coordinated action and share lessons learned.
