Get to know the Community Canvas

Ask anyone in the space: Whether you're building a brand new community or analyzing an existing community to find room for improvement, you can and should consult the Community Canvas.

Created by Fabian Pfortmüller, Nico Luchsinger, and Sascha Mombartz, the Canvas is a complete framework designed to help you build more meaningful communities, all for the sake of a more connected society.

At its core, the Community Canvas is centered on three sections:

• Identity
• Experience
• Structure

From there, it dives into 17 distinct themes, covering everything from brand and values, to roles and rules, to financing and data management. And for every theme, the team identifies a set of questions to help you apply the intel to your own community.

Available in 14 languages, it's become the go-to for "anyone who brings people together".
