Join Raise for Good on Wednesday, March 15 at 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET for a discussion on coalition and ecosystem building around innovation, workforce development, and economic mobility.
Ecosystem builders and coalitions play a pivotal role in responding to community needs and increasing equitable access to funding. The modern nonprofit industrial complex often pits nonprofits against each other, siloing resources and hampering collective action on critical social, economic, and political issues. The emergence of issue-aligned coalitions and place-based ecosystems stands to shift the paradigm by elevating proximate leaders, prioritizing community-driven outcomes, and championing reciprocity and resource sharing. We will explore how individuals, funders, and stakeholders collectively mobilize resources to enact systems-level change and accelerate impact.
Our speakers have successfully built cross-sector and place-based coalitions from the ground up and have worked across the nonprofit, corporate, and foundation worlds. We hope this discussion will educate, inspire, and challenge us to continue to lean into new models of collaboration for social impact.
