Holistic Support
for Our Network
Why Are We Organized as an
Impact Network?
The issues our partners address are too complex for any organization to tackle alone. EMA provides equitable access to resources and power to small nonprofit organizations to support their growth and increase their impact in the world.
The Impact Network approach allows us to embrace our collective power, skills and expertise, while remaining flexible to the ever-changing nature of the world. Organizing ourselves this way ensures collaborative action, deeper relationships, and meaningful impact that spans region, organization, and silos of all kinds.
What Is a Rhizome and Why Is It Integral to Our Work?
Rhizome - A rootlike, often thickened, and usually horizontal underground plant stem that produces shoots above and roots below (Merriam-Webster); a concept in post-structuralism that describes an assemblage featuring connections between any of its constituent elements, regardless of any predefined ordering, structure, or entry point (Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari).
Like underground root systems that create interconnected networks of mutual support, the rhizomatic model represents our mission for how social change organizations can thrive together.
Fiscal accompaniment means walking alongside our partners and removing barriers to funding, so they can stay focused on their impactful work and the communities they serve.
