Description
In this episode, we feature an unabridged roundtable discussion amongst a group of leaders who are part of United Way organizations from across the United States. In this talk, we get to hear what they have learned using the collective impact approach for collaborative, place-based change, and how they have seen their roles transition from a traditional funder role to that of a connected and collaborative community partner. Leading this discussion is Ayeola Fortune who serves as interim senior vice president for impact at United Way Worldwide. Joining Ayeola Fortune is Bill Crim, who is president and CEO of United Way of Salt Lake, Regina Greer, who is chief impact officer at United Way of Greater St. Louis, and Jill Pereira, who is vice president of education and impact at United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley. This roundtable was conducted as part of an online series published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, which explores the collective impact movement 10 years after the original article was published in SSIR.Resources and FootnotesArticle: Embracing Collective Impact at United WaySeries: Collective Impact: 10 Years LaterUnited Way WorldwideUnited Way of Salt LakeUnited Way of Greater St. LouisUnited Way of Greater Lehigh ValleyMore on Collective ImpactInfographic: What is Collective Impact?Resource List: Getting Started in Collective ImpactThe Intro music, entitled “Running,” was composed by Rafael Krux, and can be found here and is licensed under CC: By 4.0.The outro music, entitled “Deliberate Thought,” was composed by Kevin Macleod.

Liz Dozier - Moving from Charity to Justice in Collective Impact: When social change work is approached as “charity” -- giving help to those in need -- collaboratives can fall into a trap of doing work TO a community rather than WITH the community, upholding existing power dynamics, structural barriers, and inequities. Liz Dozier, founder and CEO of Chicago Beyond, discusses how to shift mindsets and actions from collective impact work as charity to collective impact work to achieve justice for all in our communities. by Collective Impact Forum
