About the Film
After several groundbreaking U.S. charitable campaigns were criticized by charity watchdogs, leaders in philanthropy recognized the need to rethink how the nonprofit sector operates.
Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired philanthropists and changemakers around the world, UnCharitable takes viewers on an emotional and inspiring journey that challenges outdated assumptions about giving to charities. The film makes a compelling case for a new approach to giving – one that invests boldly in the people and organizations working in the nonprofit sector to make a true impact.
This event is free and open to the public. Reserve your tickets at selinn.org/uncharitable.
