TED Talk: The way we think about charity is dead wrong

This post shares the amazing TED Talk from Dan Pallotta. If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it… It’s one of those must see videos!

The TED website writes: “Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. 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 their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let’s change the way we think about changing the world.”
