Dan Pallotta is a builder of movements. He invented the multi-day charitable event industry with the Breast Cancer 3-Day walks and the multi-day AIDS Rides, which raised in excess of half a billion dollars in nine years and were the subject of one of the first Harvard Business School case studies on social enterprise. The model and methods he created are employed by dozens of charities and have raised over $1.5 billion more for important causes. Dan is the author of "Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential," the best-selling title in the history of Tufts University Press, and "Charity Case: How the Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up for Itself and Really Change the World". His 2013 TED Talk has been seen more than 4 million times and is one of the 100 most-viewed talks of all time. Dan is the founder and President of the Charity Defense Council, a national leadership movement dedicated to transforming the way the donating public thinks about charity and change. He is also the Chief Humanity officer for Advertising for Humanity, a bold agency of ideas committed to strengthening the fundraising power of some of America's most innovative humanitarian organisations.

TOPIC: Uncharitable - The way we think about charity undermines the causes we love.

• We let Apple and Coca-Cola inundate us with advertising, but don’t want important causes “wasting” donations on paid advertising.
• We let for-profit companies invest in the long-term, but want our charitable donations spent immediately in this fiscal year to help the needy.
• We aren’t upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that fails, but if a charity experiments with a bold new fundraising event that disappoints we want heads to roll.
• We let for-profit companies raise massive capital in the stock market by offering investment returns, but we forbid the payment of a financial return in charity.
