Weaver Collaborations is a small advisory based in Aotearoa New Zealand, partnering with organisations globally as a learning partner, facilitator, and strategist.

Weaver:

  1. One who brings together silos and knowledge bases; skillful in generating common threads and meaningful connection.

  2. Amy’s ancestry. Her maternal grandmother and great aunts were Weavers. They were insightful, curious, collaborative, joyful women.

What we do

Weaver Collaborations is a learning partner for initiatives, networks, and philanthropies. We help organisations clarify their impact goals; design programs, coalitions or initiatives to achieve them; and embed learning and adaptation into their delivery. We bring curiosity and humility, comfort in emergent spaces and complex systems, and extensive experience designing, leading, and evaluating community-centred climate and nature programs globally. 

Learning partnerships can be deep and long term, supporting initiatives from start up through to maturity. Others can be more tightly bound in scope and time, for example:

  • supporting organisations to develop a new strategy or fund,

  • convening diverse stakeholders to co-design program goals,

  • developing or refreshing knowledge and impact frameworks, or 

  • advising leaders starting up new global initiatives.

Weaver Collaborations has experience working with cities, Small Island States, foundations, and civil society networks. We are particularly interested in supporting localisation efforts and resilience building; we have been working on these topics for decades.

If you are curious about a learning partnership, we would love to learn more about what you are wrestling with and how we might collaborate.
