Society's Conscience Failing: The NonProfit Sector & How to Save It

E-mail Print PDF

If the nonprofit sector is society's conscience, then how do we make it stronger? Why has it failed to solve the problems it has vowed to solve?

Dan Pallotta's new book "Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World" articulates a fearless critique of the nonprofit sector and what prejudices nonprofits should shed, and what mechanisms from the private sector it might adopt in order to better achieve its goals.

A commentary of Pallotta's appeared in the Wall Street Journal on September 15, 2012.  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444017504577647502309260064.html
