Scaling Impact Through Collaboration: Insights from LIF Tarrytown Schmoozefest: At the Livelihood Impact Fund (LIF) Tarrytown Schmoozefest, our Managing Director, Katumba James S. had the privilege of co-leading a session with Erin Fitzgerald from Yiya Solutions. Together, they explored best practices for scaling impact through strategic collaboration. The session featured a panel discussion and engaging small group activities, where participants dived into case studies of organizations successfully scaling through partnerships, as well as those still on the journey. Grounded in the principles of collective impact, the event was a fantastic opportunity to exchange insights and learn from each other’s experiences. Grateful for the chance to connect with so many changemakers! #Impact #Collaboration #CollectiveImpact #WezeshaAt10 #YiyaSolutions #ScalingImpact
