Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode, featuring one of our friends or past guests and their expertise on a certain topic. This weeks episode features Ian MacQuillin founder of Rogare - The Fundraising Think Tank. The discussion centre's on the challenges of advocating for fundraising and changing public perceptions about charity overheads and salaries. Despite efforts like the Impact Coalition and Dan Pallotta's Charity Defense Council, misconceptions persist that charities are inefficient. The issue is less about information deficit and more about ideological views on charity operations. The conversation suggests developing a new narrative that values fundraising practices rather than just providing facts. It emphasises engaging critiques with ideological arguments and reframing discussions to highlight the importance of professionalism and effective management in charities.

The giving or taking things on usury—i.e., unlawful interest.Uncharitable or unprofitable conversation; particularly speaking evil of magistrates or of ministers.Doing to others as we would not they should do unto us.Doing what we know is not for the glory of God, as:The putting on of gold and costly apparel.The taking such diversions as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus.The singing those songs, or reading those books, which do not tend to the knowledge or love of God.Softness and needless self-indulgence.Laying up treasure upon earth.Borrowing without a probability of paying; or taking up goods without a probability of paying for them.

Dr. Mario Espinoza-Kulick and guests discuss the upcoming film screening of Uncharitable.

They know better than I do where the money needs to go." "We need to move away from this idea that nonprofit staff should be underpaid. It's time to invest in the people who make change happen." "If nonprofits across the country could standardize a percentage of donations for admin costs, it would be a game changer for the sector." Actionable Tips: ➜ Include Admin Costs in Funding Requests: Nonprofits should automatically include a percentage for administrative expenses in donor agreements.  ➜ Trust Grantees' Expertise: Funders should trust that nonprofits know best how to allocate resources and should avoid imposing restrictions that hinder their effectiveness. ➜ Educate Donors on Real Needs: Nonprofits should feel empowered to educate donors about the importance of funding operational costs and negotiate for the support they truly need. Resources Mentioned: The Philanthropy Workshop "Uncharitable" by Dan Pallotta (Book and Film) Connect with Us: Connect with Maria Follow the The Sprott Foundation Subscribe and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to The Small Nonprofit on YouTube, and leave us a review.

"People like their charity workers poor." We head to the bar at the International Fundraising Congress, and the corner marked 'Dull' for a conversation with Peter and Tash from DTV delving deep into the latest film release - Uncharitable. It's a feature-length movie building on Dan Pallotta's TED Talk, you know the one. We begin with dreams of being a film director and starting out roughing it at Goldman Sachs before diving into overheads, CEO pay, marketing, risk appetite and rushing to get a version released to show at IFC. We talk the best plenary sessions ever, differing views on funding and a focus on impact rather than income. We talk media reaction, how to reach policy makers and changing opinions on the high street to defend the sector. If you'd like to see the movie at the upcoming premieres in London and Sydney on Thursday 30th November 2023, then send an email to helloDTV@DTVgroup.co.uk and we'll see you there. --You can support the show through Patreon and find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

We kick this episode off with the revelation that people actually listen before we dive into the International Fundraising Congress 2023. We're breaking down power and mobilising communities; we're segmenting audience data and throwing paper at delegates; we're trimming down the menu, ordering pastries with egg and bribing people into interviews with stickers. There's umbrella metaphors, Bruce Springsteen sets, outrage and hope. There's a frankly heroic late night delivery, polite bathroom etiquette, admitting defeat to our robot overlords and a full body wax. There's a hashtag (#BDIF), a reunion, a Gary Mabbut Wig, a deep dive into AI and a tear-jerking final interview conducted off limits. All this tied up in a Do More Good branded treasury tag.

Dan Pallotta talks with us about the conversation he ignited with his 2013 TED Talk about the way nonprofit organizations are funded. “We want the nonprofit sector to solve huge problems. We want the nonprofit sector to be able to dream gigantic dreams,” he says. However, there are still many problems with how nonprofits are evaluated and how people and other entities choose to fund them. “I would say that that conversation is where gay marriage was in… about 1945. We have a long way to go.”Pallotta's new feature-length documentary UnCharitable, featuring stories from figures like Edward Norton and Darren Walker, exposes the dark side of philanthropy with a call to action for a radical new way of giving.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Spiritual Pride is Uncharitable Towards Other Christians Subtitle: History of American Revivals Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 9/24/2023 Length: 11 min.

Thoughts on the Present Revival of Religion- Things to be avoided.--Spiritual pride in its own nature is so secret, that it is not so well discerned by immediate intuition on the thing itself, as by the effects and fruits of it- some of which I would mention, together with the contrary fruits of pure Christian humility. Spiritual pride disposes to speak of other persons' sins, their enmity against God and his people, the miserable delusion of hypocrites, and their enmity against vital piety, and the deadness of some saints, with bitterness, or with laughter and levity, and an air of contempt- whereas pure Christian humility rather disposes, either to be silent about them, or to speak of them with grief and pity.-

Thank you for listening to this episode of the FOLLOWING FILMS podcast. A movie podcast that takes you on a weekly journey into the world of cinema and the minds of the talented individuals who shape it. I'm your host, Chris Maynard, and today I'm joined by UNCHARITABLE director Stephen Gyllenhaal. The film is an illuminating look at how, in our ever-changing world, corporations are still consumed by the bottom line and charities are left to solve our world's greatest issues while routinely facing pushback every step of the way. Offering an opportunity to address our own bias and reevaluate the way we think about charities, applying the same common sense that you when we evaluate any multinational corporation. The film leaves one with hope and a roadmap for the future. But before we dive into our conversation with Stephen, I'd like to take a moment to thank our sponsor, Bookmans. Bookmans is your go-to independent bookstore, where you can find an extensive selection of books, movies, music, and more.

The word “orphan” probably doesn't mean what you think it does. Social Impact Consultant Lindsay Hadley addresses how this misconception has turned well-intentioned charity into part of the problem. Everyone has an instinctual need for belonging. Perhaps that's why “the orphan crisis” so easily tugs heartstrings and draws in billions of dollars of aid each year. But as the crisis continues — and even worsens in some countries — it's time to ask if we really understand the problem we are trying to fix. Could we do better? And what might we learn about ourselves along the way? Lindsay Hadley (hadleyimpact.com) has become one of the most sought-after consultants & producers in the nonprofit sector, raising $50M+ for her clients and leveraging billions for charity through campaigns & events. A founding member of Global Citizen, Lindsay has executively produced Global Citizen Festivals in both Australia and the USA. Lindsay is also known as a founding member of Orphan Myth, the founder of FilmRaise, the E.P. of the upcoming documentary Uncharitable, and a founding partner and Executive Producer of the first-ever social impact fund partnered with the Vatican. Hadley served as the founding development consultant for United for Global Mental Health. Lindsay was highlighted in Utah Business Magazine's 2015 FORTY UNDER 40 Awards. She was a professor of social entrepreneurship at BYU Hawaii and on the Foundation Board for Utah Valley University. Lindsay lives on the North Shore of Oahu with her 3 sons and loving & supportive husband, Geoff. @lindsayshadley. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Devin: What do you think of as your superpower?Lindsay: One of my weaknesses is loving myself. What's funny is my dear friend Henry Ammar says that our weaknesses are just our strengths with fear attached. So, when I think about my superpower, I believe that I have an incredible superpower and ability to love and especially love other people. I think that for years I've struggled with loving myself. But ultimately, what I've realized is I have a deep and profound love of self. It comes from my ability to see myself in others; I look so deeply for the best in people.Lindsay Hadley has long been a player in the impact community. She's becoming a player in movie and television production, preserving her focus on impact.UncharitableLindsay has just wrapped production of Uncharitable, a documentary film about Dan Pallotta's TedTalk, book, work and mission to reframe how we think about charity. The film features the CEO of TEDx, saying that Dan's talk is the most “paradigm-shifting” message in the history of the TEDx stages.The film, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Maggie and Jake's dad), features Ed Norton and luminaries in the nonprofit sector.Lindsay summarizes the message of the film:The concept basically goes into the idea of how overhead is demonized currently in the nonprofit sector, that the general thinking or perspective or paradigm is that the smaller the overhead or the smaller percentage of overhead spent in a nonprofit means, the better the nonprofit is—the more worthy of your donor dollar. We basically showcase a very strong case for support that that is utterly false. That will utterly betray you if you're looking at a percentage of overhead to indicate impact.Lindsay suggests an analogy to make her point. Image holding a bake sale where the ingredients, marketing and time are all donated. Sales reach $100. All $100 goes to the cause, say, helping the homeless. Zero goes to overhead. In an alternative scenario, an organizer puts on a big concert with profits going to the homeless. Revenues top $10 million, but it costs $5 million to put on the event, meaning 50 percent is overhead. Which do the homeless prefer?She further argues that high-impact leaders should be well compensated. “If we can make somebody who makes a violent video game on the cover of Forbes for their financial success, why can't we put the face of a woman who ends domestic violence on the cover of Forbes? I would love her to make absurd amounts of money because that's a heartbreaking generational trauma that has all kinds of negative impact on our society.”MadeLindsay is now working on a television series. She's partnered with the Harmon Brothers, who produce The Chosen, which has reached an audience of 300 million people. They finance the show via crowdfunding.The Harmon Brothers have won a number of awards for their internet marketing campaigns for products like Poo-Pourri, Squatty Potty, Purple Mattress and others.“They've taken five companies to unicorn status using their incredible gifting as storytellers and creatives and marketers; they've won countless Webby and Telly Awards,” Lindsay says. “They're the best internet marketers in the world.”Lindsay is working with them to fund the show using what the Harmon Brothers call their “torch campaigns.” These crowdfunding campaigns help fund pilots that help raise more money to produce high-quality television programming.Lindsay recently spoke at SuperCrowd22 and is excited to use investment crowdfunding to capitalize production of her new show, Made.Made will feature artisans who are the “literal masters of their craft, the Michael Jordans of their thing,” she says. “They make things with their hands forged in fire, stuff that is archaic.” Examples range from people who make samurai swords to hats.Lindsay describes the concept of the show:We really feel like people will fall in love with these artisans as we find out how they were made as human beings, as we learn about what they make. Then we're going to try to weave celebrities into episodes as apprentices who are genuine fans of that master craftsman's art. and get them to bring their quote-unquote fame, their limelight onto these artisans who are literally like masters of their craft, just like maybe a celebrity is a master of their craft in film or music.Watch for the new show!In all her work, Lindsay uses her superpower, love of self, to enable her empathy and love for others.How to Develop Love of Self As a SuperpowerLindsay didn't always see her love of self—certainly not as a superpower—but over a seven-year journey beginning with a particularly dark chapter in her life, she's discovered and built upon it to serve others.“Sometimes I'm trying to posture, pretend I feel good about myself or whatever it may be, and people see right through it,” she admits.She notes that a friend told her that weakness is just a superpower with fear attached. “I think that love is the point. To see the best in someone is the embodiment of love. I think that's one of my superpowers. I hope to learn to love myself more, more freely, better, more sincerely, and more unadulterated with those insecurities that come with fear of that superpower.”“About seven years ago, I had kind of this year from hell where a lot of difficulties, heartaches, challenges, whatever came into my life—and stressors,” Lindsay says. “I think it was like a death by a thousand cuts where I had a lot of hard things back to back to back to back. I had situational anxiety, and that led to situational depression.”One of her mentors shared something profound with her. “External validation can become like an addiction, just like anything, just like pornography or alcohol or sex or any other substance food. It can actually be an addiction to get those hits of external validation.”Lindsay acknowledges that her work ethic, network and good fortune have provided lots of opportunities for external validation.She was meeting with her mentor in Africa during an extended visit. The context of the conversation was helpful. There, seeing hardworking people who couldn't possibly work their way into her level of success provided a perspective that enabled personal progress.She learned two fundamental principles there and then. First is the importance of gratitude—“radical gratitude.” She saw the need to not only value and appreciate the obviously good things in life but also the benefits of the trials, challenges and problems she experienced.Second, she saw the need to surrender. “All religions try to get us to this place of now, surrender, peace, acceptance and love, a state of love,” she says.She finds part of surrender in forgiveness. Lindsay shared:Oprah Winfrey—I just listened to her—she's such a baller. She said something about forgiveness. She's been through a lot: sexual abuse and all kinds of difficulty in her childhood. She talked about forgiveness as really just accepting what happened and not trying to control for a different outcome of what happened in the past. It happened. Acceptance, right? So, this happened; I can't change anything about it. What are the gifts and the fruits of it now? Who am I becoming because of it? And loving the journey and just this surrender.By following Lindsay's example and advice, you can make love of self a superpower that strengthens your empathy and love of others, enabling you to do more good in the world.

Father Hudgins' homily: Envy and Uncharitable Words

There are not a few Christians whose souls would profit much if their bodily tongues were dumb and their bodily ears deaf, so many sins do they commit by their senses of speech and hearing. Would it not be better for certain talkative people to be altogether dumb than to injure or destroy their neighbor's honor and good name by their wicked tongues? Would it not be better for those curious ears to be completely deaf than to listen with pleasure to backbiting, detraction and scandal? Certainly it would be much better, if it were God's holy will, for some men to lose both tongue and ears than to lose their souls.

Denna and Kvothe explore the city, and start gabbing about music to eachother. We discuss how much each might be learning from the other, HANDS, the Beatles, and how Kvothe puts himself in the friendzone. This leads into a long discussion about the ins and outs of the friendzone, but we eventually circle back to talk about whether or not Denna does want Kvothe to put his arm around her. FOr the final conclusion to that question, however, you'll have to wait for an episode several pages hence! @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com If you want to donate to the SFWA's Legal Fund to help ensure that authors like Alan Dean Foster are paid the royalties they are owed, here is the link: https://www.sfwa.org/about/benevolent-funds/legal-fund/ If you would like to donate to help the Palestinian people in their ongoing struggle against settler-colonial violence, you can donate at these links: Islamic Relief Canada https://www.islamicreliefcanada.org/emergencies/palestine/?utm_campaign=12848446276&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_content=517142162113&utm_term&adgroupid=124171132249&gclid=CjwKCAjwy42FBhB2EiwAJY0yQpP3kc82omP-G5rZHYvoXKG-8z5mRcorlQ-sQvHgiGLNlz6x-l9vmxoC1yEQAvD_BwE Eye on Palestine facebook.com/eyeonpalestine.official/

65: Why You Shouldn’t Start a Charity (Matthew Zachary) SUMMARYAs a cancer survivor and marketing expert, Matthew Zachary approaches most things in life with a very different perspective, including nonprofit leadership. This approach is provocative and thought-provoking, and is sure to make you think differently about many of the “standards” of nonprofit leadership. On episode #65 of the Path Podcast, Matthew shares his rationale for NOT starting a nonprofit, why charitable organizations often get the short end of the stick in corporate partnerships, and what every nonprofit leader needs to be reading. He also shares – from personal experience – when it’s time to step down as a nonprofit leader, particularly when you're the Founder. All this and much more in this entertaining and free-wheeling episode of the Path!ABOUT MATTHEW Ten years after surviving brain cancer at age 21, Matthew founded Stupid Cancer, the world's largest young adult cancer community, and launched The Stupid Cancer Show, the first health podcast, which amassed a global listenership in the millions. He stepped down as Stupid Cancer's CEO in 2019 and launched his latest venture, OffScrip Media, the first audio broadcast network focused on consumer health and patient advocacy. Matthew is now back behind the mic with his new show, "Out of Patients," hailed as "the people's voice in healthcare." As he continues to be outspoken about the perils of the healthcare system, the through-line of Matthew's entire career is patient advocacy. Matthew is also an acclaimed keynote speaker, accomplished film composer, and award-winning concert pianist.EPISODE TOPICS & RESOURCESDan Pallotta’s books Uncharitable and Charity CaseDan Pallotta’s 2013 Ted Talk "The way we think of charity is dead wrong"Vu Le’s Blog Nonprofit AFMatthew’s website MatthewZachary.com

On this episode we talk about social innovation and social entrepreneurship, explaining some lessons we have learned from Dan Pallota, throughout some of his lectures and the two amazing books he wrote, one is called Uncharitable and the other is Charity Case. Clark Hodge, the Executive Director of Chase the Music, bring his point of view on how to do the turn around on our nonprofits to bring this new mentality of abundance.

Dan Pallotta, Chief Humanity Officer of Advertising for Humanity and author of Uncharitable talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the ideas in his book. Pallotta argues that charities are deeply handicapped by their culture and how we view them. The use of overhead as a measure of effectiveness makes it difficult for charities to attract the best talent, advertise, and invest for the future. Pallotta advocates a new culture for non-profits that takes the best aspects of the for-profit sector to enhance the mission and effectiveness of charities.

When someone approaches you to donate to a non-profit, how many of you want to know how much of of its money goes to salaries and fund-raising and how much goes to actual program services? If you're like most people, that question probably figures into your decision. I myself have factored that question of how much is spent on overhead into my charitable giving. But is it a valid or wise way to make such decisions? According to today's guest, DAN PALLOTTA, while it may be helpful, much more important is how well they serve their mission, how good a job they're doing solving the problems you care about. In his earlier book, UNCHARITABLE, Pallotta, who has a record of helping to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for causes, made the case that the way we think about non-profits and the rules we set for them, makes it harder for them to succeed on a truly significant scale. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend -- not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). Where other folks suggest ways to optimize performance inside the existing paradigm, UNCHARITABLE suggests that the paradigm itself is the problem and calls into question our fundamental beliefs about charity. With a new book, CHARITY CASE: How the Non-Profit community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World and in a recent very popular TED talk, he says "My goal ... is to fundamentally transform the way the public thinks about charity within 10 years."

Aired 12/23/08 Charities may operate with the noblest of intentions - but according to DAN PALLOTTA, they are hampered from the very start by an irrational set of rules and assumptions. By barring or discouraging charities from wielding the most effective tools of capitalism, he insists, we limit their ability to fight the social problems they were formed to tackle on a truly significant scale. UNCHARITABLE goes where no other book on the nonprofit sector has dared to tread. Where other texts suggest ways to optimize performance inside the existing paradigm, Uncharitable suggests that the paradigm itself is the problem and calls into question our fundamental canons about charity. Pallotta argues that society's nonprofit ethic acts as a strict regulatory mechanism on the natural economic law. It creates an economic apartheid that denies the nonprofit sector critical tools and permissions that the for-profit sector is allowed to use without restraint (e.g., no risk-reward incentives, no profit, counterproductive limits on compensation, and moral objections to the use of donated dollars for anything other than program expenditures. http://www.danpallotta.com
