Uncharitable investigates how for-profit strategies could and
should be used by nonprofits. Uncharitable goes where no other book
on the nonprofit sector has dared to tread. Where other texts
suggest ways to optimize performance inside the existing charity
paradigm, Uncharitable suggests that the paradigm itself is the
problem and calls into question our fundamental canons about
charity. Dan Pallotta argues that society's nonprofit ethic creates
an inequality that denies the nonprofit sector critical tools and
permissions that the for-profit sector is allowed to use without
restraint. These double standards place the nonprofit sector at an
extreme disadvantage. While the for-profit sector is permitted to
use all the tools of capitalism, the nonprofit sector is prohibited
from using any of them. Capitalism is blamed for creating
inequities in our society, but charity is prohibited from using the
tools of capitalism to rectify them-and ironically, this is all
done in the name of charity. This irrational system, Pallotta
explains, has its roots in four-hundred-year-old Puritan ethics
that banished self-interest from the realm of charity. The ideology
is policed today by watchdog agencies and the use of so-called
efficiency measures, which Pallotta argues are flawed, unjust, and
should be abandoned. By declaring our independence from these
obsolete ideas, Pallotta theorizes, we can dramatically accelerate
progress on the most urgent social issues of our time. Uncharitable
is an important, provocative, timely, and accessible book-a
manifesto about equal economic rights for charity. This edition has
a new, updated introduction by the author.
