In Rebuilding Broken Systems. Bringing Companies, Governments, and Nonprofits Together to Save Communities, author Matt Miszewski walks readers through a new approach that holds the promise of building new institutions moored to a unique pairing of American justice and hope.

With inspiring stories interwoven throughout, this book delves into topics including:

The seamless integration of the mission commitment of government workers, the passion and skillsets of volunteers, and the intellect of corporate wizards Effective strategies to build socially conscious for-profit companies at a time when commitment to institutions has all but been abandoned The interplay between community activism, corporate philanthropy, and the desires and behaviors of stakeholders

Practical, comprehensive, and thought-provoking, Rebuilding Broken Systems.

Bringing Companies, Governments, and Nonprofits Together to Save Communities serves as a timely, essential roadmap for all business leaders, social activists, and nonprofit professionals looking to make real, noticeable change in the world.
