Community support, collected for action
About Community Collective
Community Collective is an actionable resource platform that turns trusted local information into Community Support Toolkits people can use immediately, online, in print, or wherever they are.
Our mission
We reduce the time and barriers between need and support by bringing trusted community resources together and making them easier to find, organize, print, and share.
Our vision
We envision communities where everyone can quickly connect with the right support, and no family or helper has to navigate a fragmented system alone.
How the pieces fit
The Collective brings help together. The Toolkit puts it into action.
- Community Collective is the nonprofit organization and platform: the hub where trusted local resources, community partners, helpers, and people seeking support come together.
- The Collective is the network of participating organizations, schools, service providers, community partners, and contributors who share resources, submit updates, and help keep local information useful and accurate. Join the Collective
- A Community Support Toolkit is a selected set of trusted local resources that can be printed, downloaded, texted, emailed, linked, or otherwise shared in the format that works for the recipient. Build a Toolkit
- A Collection is a reusable saved group of resources a helper can reopen later to build a new Toolkit for a repeated need. Saved collections
