3. Our Premise
Equity Lives in the Backbone
Equity needs to be the private practice of your backbone before it
can be your public policy.
Equity needs to live in the backbone and be baked into how it functions.
Equity needs to be an explicit lens for your work, through which you do
your analysis and strategy design….
[F]or organizations playing backbone roles in collective impact, this
means looking internally and changing your own behaviors, practices,
and policies in order to practice what you preach.”
Juan Sebastian Arias and Sheri Brady, Collective Impact Forum (April 15, 2015)

4. Today’s Goals

10. Isolated vs. Collective Impact
• Social problems arise from the interaction of
many organizations within a larger system
• Organizations actively coordinate their
action and share lessons learned
• Progress depends on working toward the
same goal and measuring the same things
• Government and corporate sectors are
essential partners
Collective ImpactIsolated Impact
• Funders select individual grantees that offer
the most promising solutions
• Grantees work separately and compete to
produce the greatest independent impact
• Evaluation attempts to isolate a particular
grantee’s impact
• Corporate and government sectors are
disconnected

11. Collective Impact
Collective impact is the commitment
of important actors from different
sectors to a common agenda to solve
a specific social problem at scale
