In collective initiatives, communication is often underestimated, treated as an add-on rather than a core capability. Yet, sustained collaboration across nonprofits, funders, communities, corporates, and government depends on continuous, intentional communication to build trust, alignment, and shared motivation and identity over time. Equally important is external communication, which helps share learning beyond the collective, build wider networks, attract support, and contribute to a stronger, more connected impact ecosystem.
This session in the #CollabMatters series will explore communication as a strategic function within collectives. It will examine how structured internal communication helps diverse actors navigate differing priorities, build trust, and make decisions grounded in shared evidence rather than institutional interests, while creating equitable spaces where every voice has the opportunity to be heard and valued.
The session will also highlight the importance of external communication - how impact organisations can build networks, share learning, and contribute to the wider ecosystem by making their work visible. Thoughtful external communication strengthens legitimacy, supports knowledge exchange, unlocks growth opportunities and enables others to learn from both successes and failures.
Drawing on real-world collective experiences, the webinar will unpack how communication when embedded in governance, learning loops, and daily coordination becomes central to sustaining momentum and enabling meaningful action.
Audience: Communications leads, project managers, and leadership teams involved in multi-stakeholder collaboratives and in the impact sector.
