Knowledge Rubric: Build Stronger Coalitions by Including the Right Voices

In today's complex landscape, coalition building isn't optional—it's essential for survival.

Organizations that thrive understand a fundamental truth: meaningful impact requires bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise. But how do you know who needs to be at the table?

The Knowledge Rubric is our practical tool designed to help you map exactly whose voices and expertise your organization needs to include in your work. This simple yet powerful framework guides you through:

  • Identifying what information you truly need for program success

  • Recognizing who holds that knowledge (often beyond the usual suspects)

  • Prioritizing engagement with different knowledge holders

  • Moving beyond assumptions to build authentic community relationships

Organizations using the Knowledge Rubric have transformed their approach to program design, strategic planning, and community engagement. They've discovered critical insights from voices previously overlooked and built more resilient coalitions capable of addressing complex community challenges.

In today's environment, this kind of inclusive coalition-building isn't just about equity—it's about organizational survival and community resilience.
