책소개

A blueprint for a national leadership movement to transform the way the public thinks about givingVirtually everything our society has been taught about charity is backwards. We deny the social sector the ability to grow because of our short-sighted demand that it send every short-term dollar into direct services. Yet if the sector cannot grow, it can never match the scale of our great social problems. In the face of this dilemma, the sector has remained silent, defenseless, and disorganized. In Charity Case, Pallotta proposes a visionary solution: a Charity Defense Council to re-educate the public and give charities the freedom they need to solve our most pressing social issues.Proposes concrete steps for how a national Charity Defense Council will transform the public understanding of the humanitarian sector, including: building an anti-defamation league and legal defense for the sector, creating a massive national ongoing ad campaign to upgrade public literacy about giving, and ultimately enacting a National Civil Rights Act for Charity and Social EnterpriseFrom Dan Pallotta, renowned builder of social movements and inventor of the multi-day charity event industry (including the AIDS Rides and Breast Cancer 3-Days) that has cumulatively raised over $1.1 billion for critical social causesThe hotly-anticipated follow-up to Pallotta-s groundbreaking book UncharitableGrounded in Pallotta-s clear vision and deep social sector experience, Charity Case is a fascinating wake-up call for fixing the culture that thwarts our charities- ability to change the world.

출판사 서평

“Charity Case is an Apollo program for American philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. Pallotta&'s understanding of the hamstrung nonprofit sector is poetic and therapeutic. His prescription is sensible and profound. Charity Case will inspire its readers with an expansive sense of possibility.”&m- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&“Every once in a while a book states the obvious in such a compelling way that it rises to the level of genius. Charity Case is that exciting. It dares the whole of the charitable industry to raise its voice to the level of the music business and other consumer giants. In its insistence that the industry reject the role of second-class citizen, it has the potential to make charity sexy, and that&'s the only way charity&'s ever going to change the world.”&m-Clive Davis, chief creative officer, Sony Music; founder, Arista Records; former president, Columbia Records “If we had a prize for the most innovative thinking about charity and social change it would go to Dan Pallotta. Charity Case is the blueprint for unleashing the awesome power of this sector and enlightening the society that unknowingly holds it back. Simply brilliant and in a class by itself.”&m-Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO, X PRIZE Foundation “Dan Pallotta invites, tempts, and provokes every single one of us to think differently about the humanitarian sector. He has a big vision and artfully makes a case for creating a sector-wide movement capable of power­ful actions and needle-moving change that improve lives. In this rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, Dan&'s voice is crisp, clear, and compelling.”&m-Diana Aviv, president and CEO, Independent Sector “Dan Pallotta is a big thinker&m-impatient, generous, and insightful. It&'s worth hearing him out.”
