everything the donating public has been taught about giving is dysfunctional, says AIDS Ride founder Dan Pallotta.
now, i’m not willing to go as far as “everything,” but i do agree there’s a lot of dysfunction in the way we think about and do philanthropy.
i implore all of us committed to philanthropy to participate in the process of taking a hard look at the thinking and perspectives that have been handed down to us and undertake some serious revising– and reinventing, if necessary. the goal is to pass on a better legacy, one that is more functional and builds in the process of evaluation and change necessary for any dynamic enterprise to be successful.
we could start the discussion right here. or we can gather elsewhere, in person or via the web.
who wants to join me?
