UnCharitable Movie Discussion with Rick Peck, The Philanthropy Guy
from Giving Voices
Why does the American public punish nonprofits for spending money? Why do we, as a society, apply different operating and economic standards to charitable entities than we do to commercial businesses? Rick Peck, independent philanthropy advisor with Richard C. Peck Consulting, LLC and founder of The Philanthropy Guy, LLC, joins me in discussing the full-length documentary film, UnCharitable, that aims to answer exactly those questions and more. Pop the popcorn, pour a drink, and consider this double standard and our observations about it's perpetuated. Even if you haven't watched the movie, the topic and our opinions about it are pretty clear!Bonus: The movie is based on the book by the same name, authored by Dan Palotta, who's made it his life's work to "transform the way the donating public thinks about charity and change." Pallotta's TED Talk,"The way we think about charity is dead wrong," has been viewed more than 5.5 million times and is the basis of UnCharitable, the movie. Do you have a story to share?
