An AI concept for The Leverage Network's health equity work
A decade of trust built the network. AI turns it into collective, measurable impact at a scale no convener team can staff.
The Leverage Network has spent ten years building what most organizations are only now trying to assemble: trust across the leaders and organizations working to close health disparities.
The strategy is set through 2030. Funders are back at the table on health equity, funding outcomes they can measure and defend. This concept runs on two tracks: capacity for the team, and activation for the network.
A strategy-driven team, freed to execute. We start where the hours go.
Illustrative week. Actual hours are measured in discovery.
Reporting, scheduling, follow-up, and meeting notes handed to AI assistants, so staff time goes back to the mission.
AI that surfaces aligned funders, tracks deadlines, and produces strong first drafts in The Leverage Network's own voice and numbers. The team edits and submits.
OptimaNova's traffic light framework gives the whole team clear rules for AI use. Try it below.
Hands-on training built from how the team works today, so individual AI use becomes one shared way of operating.

Illustrative. Member organizations shown by type.
Every member organization gets a living profile. Profiles stay current without anyone chasing updates.
The engine surfaces who should be working together. OptimaNova's matching engine already runs at live convenings.
One shared knowledge hub any member can ask. The network gets smarter every time someone uses it.
Outcomes from every member roll up into one view of collective impact. That is the story funders want from a convener, told with evidence.
Funders still care deeply about health equity. They fund outcomes they can measure and defend. Here is the view that makes the case.

Toni's design for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation opportunity builds the network in Year 1 and activates it in Year 2. The engine follows the same rhythm, so the technology is ready the moment the network is.
The Leverage Network convenes member organizations. In parallel, OptimaNova stands up living profiles as organizations join, sets baseline measures, and delivers Track 1 capacity to the team.
Matching goes live, the knowledge hub opens to every member, and the Collective Impact View reports results to funders as they happen.
At the full proposal stage, this becomes the activation and evaluation component, with OptimaNova drafting alongside The Leverage Network. The same concept travels to additional funders, starting with those already in The Leverage Network's history.
Surveys, one-on-ones, and working sessions with the team and a sample of members.

Which workflows change, which roles shift, and how the engine fits the network.

You bring the relationships and the trust. We bring the build and the numbers. Together, that is a concept funders put their name on.

We pressure-test both tracks and set outcome targets together.
