A trillion-dollar industry, the US non-profit sector is one of the
world's largest economies. From art museums and university
hospitals to think tanks and church charities, over 1.5 million
organizations of staggering diversity share the tax-exempt
501(c)(3) designation, if little else. Many social justice
organizations have joined this world, often blunting political
goals to satisfy government and foundation mandates. But even as
funding shrinks, many activists often find it difficult to imagine
movement-building outside the non-profit model. The Revolution Will
Not Be Funded gathers essays by radical activists, educators, and
non-profit staff from around the globe who critically rethink the
long-term consequences of what they call the "non-profit industrial
complex." Drawing on their own experiences, the contributors track
the history of non-profits and provide strategies to transform and
work outside them. Urgent and visionary, The Revolution Will Not Be
Funded presents a biting critique of the quietly devastating role
the non-profit industrial complex plays in managing dissent.
