55 alliance organizations across the global missions ecosystem, assessed against 5 collective impact conditions (Kania & Kramer, SSIR 2011) — with member counts, sub-alliances, and cross-connections.
Select the alliances your organization belongs to. The graph will highlight your network and surface gaps.
Collective impact (Kania & Kramer, SSIR 2011) requires five conditions to drive large-scale change: a common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and a backbone organization. Each organization below exhibits at least 2 of 5. Assessments are editorial, based on publicly available information — not independently verified.
Lausanne Movement (28 issue networks, 284 action teams from Seoul 2024, 6,000+ commitments) has coordinated global evangelization since 1974. WEA (143 national alliances, 9 regional, 6 commissions) serves as the institutional umbrella with UN advocacy. Missio Nexus (394 member agencies, 53,000+ staff) is the North American backbone with the Launch Survey as shared measurement. Linking Global Voices maps 600+ networks — connecting the connectors.
GACX (115+ member organizations) and its interlocking ecosystem — 24:14 Coalition, Finishing the Task (Rick Warren, 1M+ congregations), Ethne, and GCPN — focus on unreached peoples. Finishing the Task maintains the "unengaged peoples" list, the sector's shared measurement system. Exponential (100+ networks, merged with NewThing 2025) serves as church multiplication backbone.
Accord Network (165+ orgs, $6B revenue). Integral Alliance (22 agencies, 15 countries, 470+ local partners). CAFO (225+ orgs, 850+ churches, 40+ country Global Network). ACT Alliance (145+ humanitarian orgs). Micah Global and CCDA (400+ ministries) anchor the justice sector.
Movement.org mobilizes leaders in 900+ cities. City Gospel Movements provides infrastructure. City Leaders Collective connects city network leaders to each other. CityUnite adds cross-sector methodology. Redeemer City to City (75+ cities, Keller legacy) is the urban church planting backbone.
NFWA coordinates the faith-and-work sector. Made to Flourish (4,000+ pastors, 50 states). Denver Institute stewards CityGate nationally. Faith & Work Movement (150+ corporate campuses). Convene (800 CEO members, $6B+ collective revenue, 30-year peer advisory model). The BAM Ecosystem maps 119 organizations across 5 categories.
Collective Impact Labs (shared data standards and coordination tools, Global.Church Alliance). visionSynergy helps organizations merge and collaborate. CLA (sector-wide nonprofit leadership backbone). TrustBridge Global (cross-border giving, 220+ countries). ACMI-ISM (300+ ISM contacts across 12 regions, ISI/ISMC/IFES/Lausanne backbone). FaithTech (60+ city chapters, 6 continents, redemptive tech community).
Alliance data cross-referenced against 200+ nonprofit CI profiles from SIQ Protocol research (GACX directory: 121 orgs, Missio Nexus directory: 209 orgs, Top 100 Christian Influence Index, CEF member directory). GACX member count updated from “115+” to 121 based on scraped directory data.

This directory maps the connective tissue of the global missions ecosystem. Most organizations sit inside one or two alliances and never see the full picture. Here's what you can do with it:
Identify which alliances your organization already connects to — and which gaps exist. Use the connection pills to trace cross-alliance relationships.
Sort by CI score to see which alliances have the strongest collective impact infrastructure. Filter by sector to see who's doing similar work.
Join an alliance, propose shared measurement, or volunteer as a backbone coordinator. The ecosystem is full of organizations — what it lacks is connective tissue.
200+ organizations separately rebuild the same tools. Campus ministries duplicate outreach materials. Sending agencies learn the same lessons alone. Donors fund one program never knowing their gift could multiply across dozens.
The problem isn't effort — it's that nobody owns the connective tissue. Knowledge stays locked inside each silo. Nothing compounds. Nothing connects.
Collective impact changes this. When organizations share a common agenda, measure the same outcomes, and coordinate through a backbone — every investment multiplies every organization's impact.

Ten citations from the Missions Library corpus (254,000+ items, 244 sources) on why collective impact matters for missions.
"Networks are the backbone of movement."
Sam Stephens — Exponential, January 2026
"Networks plant more churches. Networks sustain more churches. Networks multiply more churches. That's not theory. That's not hype. That's experience."
NewThing Leadership — Exponential, January 2026
"Collective Impact initiatives involve organizations working collectively to solve a problem using a common agenda, shared measurement systems, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and a backbone organization."
John Kania & Mark Kramer — Stanford Social Innovation Review, 2011
"Through decades of service, he observed how disconnected efforts among churches and nonprofits led to inefficiencies and missed opportunities."
Pastor Dexter Harris, Flourish Community Hub — Exponential, August 2025
"Collaboration trumps competition. By bringing together churches, nonprofits, businesses, and civic entities, it has fostered a spirit of cooperation, improved service coordination, and attracted new funding sources."
Flourish Community Hub Case Study — Exponential, 2025
"We learned that when churches link arms around a shared mission, they plant more churches than any one of them could have planted individually."
NewThing Leadership — Exponential, January 2026
"Fragmented organizations operating in silos is the core ecosystem challenge — addressable through shared data standards, AI coordination, and backbone infrastructure."
Collective Impact Labs — Global.Church Alliance, 2026
"A Shared Measurement System tracks the progress and effectiveness of evangelistic efforts across the region. Measurable goals are set for outreach — number of people reached, conversions, new discipleship groups, and church plants."
Finishing the Task — "What is an Evangelism Roundtable?"
"Movements don't emerge from isolated ministries; they emerge from connected communities."
Exponential — "Networks Are the Backbone of Movement," January 2026
"200+ organizations are separately rebuilding the same tools. Each building its own intake forms, mentorship systems, curriculum guides. The cost: millions in wasted time. The solution: a central hub doing the infrastructure leg work so every partner can focus on students."
