The Way We Think About Charity Is Dead Wrong

Dan Pallotta’s TED Talk, "The Way We Think About Charity is Dead Wrong," is like a mic-drop moment for the nonprofit world. Imagine if we judged businesses by their office coffee budget—totally absurd, right? Pallotta argues that our obsession with keeping charity overhead low is as outdated as dial-up internet. He says nonprofits should get the same freedom as businesses to spend on flashy ads, top-notch staff, and even those really comfy office chairs. It’s time to stop treating charities like they’re running a bake sale and start seeing them as powerhouses for change. Ready to challenge your inner Scrooge and rethink charity? Pallotta’s talk is your ticket!
