Activist, reformer, author and speaker Dan Pallotta wants non-profits to focus less on overhead and more on investing and taking risks.
‘The way we think about charity is dead wrong.’ With this TED Talk in 2013 Dan Pallotta really shook up the (non-profit) world. His talk was seen by over 6 million people. However, breaking old patterns and counter assumptions isn’t easy, since Pallotta’s theme is still current today. Invited by the Postcode Lotteries he talked an hour exclusively to the lotteries beneficiaries, ambassadors and employees. “You need to think and act as a pro-profit company if you really want to change the world. Dare to spend money in order to make real impact.”
