“Work that may appear diffused
and limited on its own has the potential to grow to scale, have broad impact, and produce deep social transformation when collaborating organizations work together in coalitions, networks
and alliances. Moving beyond single issue agendas and working across sectors and strategies is key to creating lasting social change.”

The Transformational Power of Networks
Networks are a powerful means to increase the efficiency, capacity and impact of social change organizations. They ground people and groups in a larger vision and create channels for that vision to spread. Thoughtfully built, networks can marshal both individual energies and organizations' capacity to regenerate and advance inclusive, broad-based movements.

Networks enable peer learning and the emergence of intersecting strategies, and allow communities to leverage economies of scale and build true power. These shared advantages can help networked organizations survive and thrive. Networks harness and expand the energy of groups working towards the same goal, allowing them to be more than the sum of their parts.
