We provide consulting, tool-building, and research services to support social-impact networks, foundations, and the emerging field of network builders.
How We Work
Our collaborative approach yields customized advice grounded in rigorous research. We value relationships, pay special attention to context in our work, and deploy field-tested frameworks that we’ve developed over more than a decade.
Who We Are
Our team brings professional expertise in multiple disciplines - from anthropology and policy advocacy to human-centered design thinking. Our multi-faceted capacity is suited to the dynamic field of social network impact building.
“Social impact networks can be thoughtfully designed from the start, you don’t have to fly blind.”

We share what we learn in a variety of ways, including in reports, tools, and guides as well as in webinars and customized workshops
Co-authored by Madeleine Taylor, Peter Plastrik and John Cleveland, this book provides the frameworks, practical advice, case studies, and expert knowledge needed to build better-performing networks.
Network Impact partnered with Schusterman Family Philanthropies to create a series of Network Know-How Guides for early-stage network builders. The collection includes easy-to-use resources that describe key network design and management principles.
In collaboration with the Center for Evaluation Innovation, we created a guide to network evaluation that includes a framing paper with a summary of existing frameworks and approaches as well as a casebook that includes the details of nine network evaluations.
