12 p.m. - lunch and lecture; 1:30 p.m. - book signing  Is our community uncharitable to the very charities we rely on to improve our quality of life?
In his acclaimed book, Dan Pallotta argues that society’s expectations of nonprofits actually prevent them from achieving greater good. By denying charities the economic tools utilized by the for-profit sector, he says, we hinder their ability to make a greater impact in our communities. Pallotta calls for a new paradigm for charity, one that throws out flawed measures of “efficiency” and gives nonprofits equal economic rights to achieve their mission.
As donors strive to be increasingly effective with their charitable dollars, Pallotta will challenge the basic questions we ask in making our decisions about where and how to give. Please join us for a provocative look at how we can truly empower our community's nonprofits. About Our Speaker
Social entrepreneur and nonprofit innovator Dan Pallotta founded Pallotta TeamWorks, which created the multi-day AIDS Rides and Breast Cancer 3-Day walks that revolutionized special-event fundraising and donor engagement in America. His book Uncharitable “…deserves to become the nonprofit sector’s new manifesto,” according to a review in the Stanford Social Innovation Review. Learn more about Uncharitable
