Overview
From philanthropic leader John Brothers, former president of the T. Rowe Price Foundation and a survivor of poverty himself, comes a compelling, hands-on guide to better serving our communities through trust-based giving with real, lasting impact.
Every day, millions of Americans rely on a patchwork of government programs and charitable services, such as social security, soup kitchens, and free clinics, to survive. But the way these systems interact with individuals, especially those in deep poverty or other disadvantaged groups, can lead to daily frustrations and countless unnecessary obstacles.
In Fix Me Up Quickly John Brothers, a leading advocate for trust-based giving and a product of these systems himself, envisions a movement where both those within these flawed systems and those advocating for change come together to change how service is delivered. Picture a caseworker or a church volunteer reevaluating their approach to aiding those in need, a policymaker reconsidering policies that harm their constituents, or a charity leader realigning service delivery.
In the spirit of Barbara Ehrenreich and Jonathan Kozol, and undergirded by the story of a man overcoming incredible obstacles, Fix Me Up Quickly offers a compelling blueprint for social progress, guiding us toward a better world for ourselves and our communities.
