Build, Sustain, Evolve – A Network Builder’s Toolkit

12 August 2025 / WORDS BY Pollination Foundation

Are you building connections or meaningful relationships?

Our new network builder’s toolkit is designed to support you to create genuine collaborations.

Do you know the single critical factor most often overlooked when building effective networks? Hint: It’s not technology or funding – it’s intentional design informed by real-world experience.   

Build, Sustain, Evolve is our Network Builder’s Toolkit, developed by compiling five years of insights from Ampliseed’s global communities of practice. It offers practical guidance for creating resilient, sustainable, and impactful networks. 

This comprehensive toolkit includes: 

  • A decision tree to support you to choose the right type of network to achieve your goals. 
  • Step-by-step instructions for initiating and managing successful networks. 
  • Real-world case studies illustrating how to weave communities, run working groups, build capacity, and strengthen skills to lead change. 
  • Actionable checklists and adaptable templates for immediate application. 
  • Insights on advocacy, governance, choosing digital tools, financial sustainability, and meaningful community engagement. 

It’s designed specifically to support: 

  • Practitioners and field experts seeking deeper peer-to-peer collaboration. 
  • Philanthropic organisations striving for high-impact, sustainable funding models. 
  • Nonprofits and NGOs aiming to enhance cross-sector partnerships and knowledge exchange. 
  • Indigenous and community-led organisations committed to inclusive, culturally respectful practices.
