Utah nonprofits invited to attend screening and panel discussion of “UnCharitable” – Cache Valley Daily

SALT LAKE CITY – In a move to reshape the landscape of philanthropy, the Utah Nonprofits Association (UNA) is partnering with the Utah Film Center to present an exclusive screening of the thought-provoking documentary “UnCharitable.” This revelatory film promises to peel back the layers of traditional charitable giving, unveiling a radical approach to changing the world. The film will be screened on September 13 at the Salt Lake City Public Library followed by a panel discussion with some of the film’s producers.

“UnCharitable,” led by Dan Pallotta – renowned for his trailblazing TED Talk on philanthropy – exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. The documentary introduces a paradigm-shattering strategy, encouraging charitable entities to break free from conventional constraints and embrace a new era of transformative change.

The film underscores the pressing need to invest wholeheartedly in positive transformation and urges viewers to reimagine the potential of their contributions. From reevaluating the true impact of charitable donations to advocating for investments in overhead, growth, fundraising, and marketing efforts, “UnCharitable” pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in driving meaningful change.

The documentary is anchored in Dan Pallotta’s influential book, “UnCharitable,” a recently reissued masterpiece by Brandeis University Press and a record-breaking bestseller from Tufts University Press. Hailed as a potential manifesto for the nonprofit sector, the book has garnered accolades from thought leaders. The book was followed by a talk at TED in 2013 that became, as Chris Anderson, the head of TED has said, “one of the most persuasive talks ever on the TED stage, and the 16th most-commented TED talk of all time.”

While admission is complimentary, early registration is encouraged to secure a spot. Register in advance by going here.
