‘As this volume trenchantly documents, our world faces the ravages of a perfect storm, shedding a glaring light on the disparate impact in our local communities of long-standing systemic racism, continually widening wealth gaps, and a raging global pandemic. Under this spotlight, the urgency and timeliness of strategic, cross-sector sustainable partnerships among organizations anchored in place, undergirded by enlightened philanthropy, and committed to moving the needle on the public good, could not be clearer. By documenting the efforts of ten such partnerships-in-place, spanning localities across the US and the globe, David Maurrasse brings home forceful shared lessons for progress.’
