We believe that change comes from collective action.
Effective organizations that work together will create changes at a systems level which will drive changes at a population level. Our goal is to create conditions for this to occur. Collectivity is a consulting cooperative that helps organizations build operational capacity to accelerate mission, and effectively collaborate to deliver impact.
OUR VALUES
COLLABORATION
We co-create through collective action and authentic partnership, combining our contributions and merging perspectives, skills, and ideas until our work is truly co-owned.
EQUITY
We recognize that systems have historically not been equitable, deeply and disproportionately under-serving certain communities while benefiting others. At Collectivity, we believe in actively addressing these systemic imbalances - striving for everyone to have access to the resources, opportunities, and support needed to thrive.
GRATITUDE
We are deeply grateful for our community and honor individuals’ contributions; we demonstrate this through words, deeds, and intentional actions.
CARE
We approach our work with the intention to be thoughtful and attentive to the varying demands and priorities of life. We recognize that the weight of the world - and the systems we move through - shapes our capacity from day to day. With this awareness, we aim to act with empathy and compassion toward one another, affirming each individual's right to wellness in everything we do.
Collectivity = Cooperative
Since its inception in 2014, Collectivity has been organized as a multi-stakeholder cooperative designed to meet both economic and social goals of our community, by meeting the needs of its member-owners. Learn more about what being a worker co-op means to Collectivity and how we aim to build a better world through cooperation.
A Commitment to Truth, Justice, and Collective Action
We live in a time of political upheaval, deep inequality, and environmental crisis. The dismantling of federal agencies, rising authoritarianism, and global conflict shape daily life and threaten our collective future.
At Collectivity, we don’t treat this as background noise. We acknowledge the weight of this moment - not as a formality, but as a call to action.
While the burdens of injustice are not equally shared, we are moved by those who continue to resist, organize, and imagine a more just world. This is our commitment: to show up with clarity, urgency, and care.
We are accountable to one another; and our work must reflect that.
Bringing all Voices to the Table
We acknowledge that, in order for us to serve our clients, we need to listen and learn from the widest array of voices in our community and beyond. Perspectives and representation are critical and central to all aspects of the work that we do.
One literal table we invite community members to join is our quarterly salon series. Initiated at a 2022 year end retreat, we wondered about how we might bring thought leaders together for intentional conversations about challenges we are facing in our communities. We landed on the idea of hosting a series of conversation circles that would be casual from a social perspective, but intentional from an “intellectual” perspective.
