Your gift will be put right to use to support our 2015 Fall 2 Year Grant Cycle Collective Impact: Building Relationships, Building Our Future 

Collective Impact is an approach that communities are using across North America to move the needle on complex problems.  Collective Impact is a paradigm shift from what we think of as collaboration between agencies:  Collective Impact engages all sectors of the wider community (business, government, non-profits, and those who experience the problem being addressed – called “context experts”) to address a problem in a comprehensive way. 

We would like to nurture the growth of the Collective Impact approach to making a real difference in our community.  We believe that the Community Foundation is uniquely positioned to be a leading supporter of this approach, given our relationships with the providers of services, and that this is the time for us to step forward in a significant way to do so.
