Partners
Build the network with us
Action Network Worldwide is more than a platform — it's a coalition of organizations, networks, funders, and institutions working in concert. We partner with groups whose missions align with ours: scaling individual impact into collective change.
Five ways to partner
Whether you bring a member network, technology, funding, knowledge, or audience — there's a meaningful way to work together. Each track gives partners a dedicated surface inside the platform and a share in the network we're building.
1. Umbrella organizations & federations
Host your member organizations under one roof. Every member gets a verified profile, shared workspaces, and one matching engine that surfaces opportunities across borders — without rebuilding your own tech stack.
You bring: a coordinating role over 5+ active member organizations
You get: a federation dashboard with every member's activity, projects, and matches; branded onboarding for new members; a public sub-directory under your umbrella; a quarterly impact report covering your network's collective output
2. Technology integrations
Make our users more productive by plugging your tool into the flows they already use — workspaces, opportunities, member profiles, matching. We bring distribution; you bring a capability we don't.
You bring: a production API or SDK; an existing user base in the social impact / nonprofit sector; a technical contact for joint engineering
You get: a dedicated integration page; "Connect" buttons inside the relevant ANW flows; joint launch announcement and ongoing co-marketing; quarterly adoption metrics
3. Funding & impact partners
Your grant programs, accelerator cohorts, and fellowships reach AI-matched, pre-verified applicants. We cut your sourcing and due-diligence cost; you put capital where it matters.
You bring: an open call, cohort, or funding program with clear eligibility criteria; a point of contact for shortlisting
You get: your call featured in the opportunity marketplace; matched distribution to professionals and orgs that fit your criteria; verified applicant profiles (reducing your due-diligence load); anonymised applicant analytics
4. Knowledge & academic partners
Your courses, research, and convenings land in front of practitioners ready to apply them. We turn one-off learners into a pipeline of applied work.
You bring: a course catalogue, research output, or convening series; open-access or partner-priced enrollment for ANW members; a faculty or research lead for editorial
You get: a dedicated knowledge partner page; matched learner discovery; co-published research summaries on the ANW blog; an annual progression report showing how ANW learners apply what they took from you
5. Network partners
For aligned media outlets, communities, and newsletters that share our audience without competing for it. Trade reach for reach, attributed both ways.
You bring: an editorial surface (newsletter, podcast, community, or blog) with a social-impact-aligned audience; willingness to syndicate or cross-publish
You get: a custom referral link with signup attribution; curated ANW blog content licensed for syndication; co-published interviews and joint editorial features; co-branded slots in our flagship events
