ABOUT THE FILM: “UNCHARITABLE”
What if charity could be transformed from a gesture to an answer — to solving the world’s greatest problems? What if everything we’ve been taught about charitable giving is wrong? What if it’s undermining the very causes, we love the most? “Uncharitable” is a one-of-a-kind movie that shows how our charitable traditions and prejudices have suffocated the charitable sector and prevented it from leading the charge to truly change the world.
Based on the book, “Uncharitable,” by Dan Pallotta, which became one of the most talked-about TED talks of all time — changing everything from charity watchdog standards to the giving practices of America’s biggest foundations — “Uncharitable” follows the stories of four iconic American charitable efforts that were crippled or destroyed by old ideas. With a chorus of leading voices in the field, the film takes the viewer on a journey to a place where charities can play the leading role in creating an unimaginably beautiful world that works for everyone.
This complimentary screening is sponsored by Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona.
