Power-Sharing Charter Template

About this Tool

Coalitions often break down not because of lack of passion but because power, voice, and resources are distributed unevenly or assumed rather than made explicit. The Power-Sharing Charter is a written agreement that makes these structures visible and intentional. It clarifies how decisions are made, how smaller or community-based partners are included, how resources flow, and how accountability is maintained. This tool is particularly useful during coalition formation, after conflict, or during periods of rapid growth when informal norms no longer hold.
