This important book focuses on particular aspects of the
development and implementation of community partnerships based in -
and focused on - neighborhoods, municipalities, and regions.
Throughout the book, David J. Maurrasse stresses the importance of
philanthropy and representation from different types of
organizations across public, private, and nongovernmental
spectrums. In observing these collaborative efforts both in the US
and various countries including Colombia, Malawi, England, India
and Australia, two dynamics are emphasized: the role of private
philanthropic institutions and their resources in facilitating the
creation and continuation of these partnerships, along with the
role of nongovernmental organizations as important enduring
institutions in localities that are not, historically, considered
as agents of community and economic development. It provides an
evolving perspective on community partnerships particularly during
the COVID-19 pandemic, and racial and income inequity, introducing
the geographical, historical and cultural context behind these.
Furthermore, the author defines and describes various roles in
community partnerships and offers suggestions to help leverage
these. Providing insightful case studies on the topic, this book
will be key reading for practitioners in the field of community
engagement at nonprofit institutions, such as universities,
hospitals and philanthropic organizations. It will also be of use
for academic researchers focusing on community studies and
strategic partnerships.
