Welcome to the
CBO Membership Hub

About the Impact Collaborative

The Impact Collaborative was founded by fellow CBO leaders eager to ensure the amplified impact and long-term viability of the organizations that are working relentlessly to break the cycle of generational poverty and improve mental well-being. It was built on The Child Center’s proven ability to fuse business acumen with a mission-driven purpose: using cutting-edge technology and analytics to inform decisions and allocate limited resources effectively. By collectively working together to create sustainable business models and provide innovative, tech-enabled services, the IC aims to impact hundreds of thousands of clients in under-resourced communities by 2030.

Join us as we build a member hub for CBOs and transform the field of social impact for decades to come.

Why do we need this now?

Under-resourced but undeterred.

Community-based organizations (CBOs) are the heart and soul of their communities: fostering a wealth of local expertise, ingenuity, and resiliency to deliver vital community-driven services. However, while their impact is undeniable, CBOs often operate with limited resources, making it challenging to maximize their impact.

How can you tackle this?

Intersecting impact and ingenuity.

To address this, the Impact Collaborative is calling on innovators in the private sector and experts in the nonprofit space to join forces, leveraging their collective networks and ecosystems to enact lasting systemic change.

What happens next?

Power in partnerships.

By uniting the best and brightest across these networks, the IC can collectively build impactful solutions for individuals and communities that are financially viable, scalable, and efficient for the organizations that deliver them, thus producing a blueprint for systemic transformation across communities nationwide.

Where do you begin?

Expertise and excellence.

We're launching Day One with strategic partnerships with The Child Center of NY, InUnity Alliance, and the Queens Chamber of Commerce. InUnity Alliance, an association representing more than 200 substance use disorder and mental health care providers throughout New York State, and the Child Center will help shape the member hub and its service offerings as founding members. An affiliate of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, the Queens Innovation Foundation, will be instrumental in working with the IC and its CBO members to ideate and prototype data-driven technology solutions that help IC members deliver services to their clients more efficiently and effectively. These organizations share the IC’s vision of a new impact paradigm and we're just getting started.
