Overview

Explore a thought-provoking 19-minute TED talk that challenges conventional wisdom about charity and nonprofit organizations. Discover how activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta argues against the double standard in our approach to charities, questioning why they are often rewarded for frugality rather than impact. Learn about his bold proposal to change our mindset and start evaluating charities based on their ambitious goals and significant accomplishments, even if they involve substantial expenses. Gain insights into the potential for transforming the way we think about changing the world, as Pallotta delves into topics such as compensation, advertising, marketing, risk-taking, profit, and the historical influence of Puritan values on our perception of charitable work.
