Allavida works through and with a shifting network of international, national and local organisations and associations, individual consultants, academics and researchers. This loose, informal network is committed to sharing learning and ideas, stimulating creative responses to local need, and collaborating whenever possible around common agendas.

 It is this network that is helping generate Allavida’s expanding portfolio of community initiatives and enterprises. It is also this network of practitioners and experienced consultants that underpin Allavida’s growing Services.

 Research and Publishing

 Allavida published Alliance magazine in the period 2001-2006, during which time the magazine grew to become the leading resource for foundation staff, philanthropists and other funders and social investors around the world. Having always ensured editorial independence, it was a natural step to help Alliance become fully independent. With support from a number of European foundations, this was achieved in late 2006 when we launched Alliance Publishing Trust. Allavida retains close links with Alliance. For more information on Alliance, go to www.alliancemagazine.org.

Research and publishing continues to play an important part in Allavida’s work, particularly in the fields of philanthropy, social investment and social enterprise.
