# Collective Impact The Collective Impact Compendium Series

## The Collective Impact Compendium Series

Collective Impact is a framework for addressing complex community dilemmas and is most effective when trying to move the needle at a population or systems change scale.  It is not a useful framework when the purpose of the collaborative effort is solely to deliver programmatic services or solutions.  

To help you make the most of your Collective Impact initiative, we've assembled a collection of compendiums with a vast array of tools, papers, and other resources to help you build your toolkit for specific areas of your Collective Impact work. From a focus on the five phases, to sustainability, to evaluation, the compendium series will provide you with links to the best resources from our network of Collective Impact thought-leaders. 

We want to make sure that these resources act as living documents, and reflect the resources that our own network finds most useful.  If you have a tool or a resource that has been helpful to your Collective Impact work, contact us at [tamarack@tamarackcommunity.ca](mailto:tamarack@tamarackcommunity.ca) and we will include that tool in future iterations of this Compendium of resources.

Enjoy!
