The Stanford Social Innovation Review has said that the book Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential, "should be the non-profit sector's new manifesto."   In Uncharitable, author Dan Pallotta challenges the fundamental tenets of charity and argues that nonprofits should be free to use standard business tools to create robust and healthy charities. During this webinar, he will review the key ideas from the book and address the public's perspective on topics including the following:

• Overhead and efficiency measures
• Executive compensation
• Innovation and risk in nonprofits

   

Dan will explore these issues with the aim of offering powerful new ways to think about philanthropy. Join us for a 50-minute presentation followed by a Q&A session open to participants.

Who should attend:

Nonprofit executives and managers, fund raisers, board members, donors, students, social entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in transforming the nonprofit paradigm.
