Uncharitable Screening + Social: A Radical New Way of Giving

January 16 @ 3:45 pm7:00 pm

Presented by NewGround Leadership in partnership with Association of Fundraising Professionals of Nova Scotia

Join NewGround Leadership and our partner, the Association of Fundraising Professionals of Nova Scotia, as we team up to host a screening and catered networking conversation for the film Uncharitable. Step away from your workday and join us for this inspiring event on January 16th at 4:00pm-7:00pm.

“UnCharitable” will change you. It will change everything you’ve ever thought or been taught about charity, giving, solving the great problems of human suffering that have plagued humanity since the beginning of time and building a world that works for everyone, with, as Buckminster Fuller said, “no one and nothing left out.” You will come away with hope you thought was no longer possible.

Join us in a conversation about how nonprofits are unfairly pressured to cut salaries, lower operating costs and delay long term investments, which all degrade organizations’ abilities to accomplish their missions.

Thanks to our Presenting sponsors, Davis Pier, NewGround Financial, Baker Tilley/Harbinger Law & Light House Arts Centre, our tickets are only $10 each and movie snacks will be provided. We believe it is important for everyone to access this important documentary! We also have a virtual viewing option for those outside of Halifax.

After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by conservative charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.

Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints, so that they can truly change the world.

Uncharitable delivers an emotional journey that moves, persuades and inspires its audience to change the way we think about giving.

No topic is more crucial and timely as we confront an increasingly unstable world with the growing revelation that we are all interconnected and that our fate lies in how much we are willing to invest in positive change.
