No restraints
Dan Pallotta and Joe Saxton look at how restraints on non-profits undermine their potential to innovate and generate large incomes for their beneficiaries
Dan Pallotta, author of Uncharitable:
For more than a decade now one of the cruelest and most dangerously disingenuous messages being preached to the nonprofit sector is that it should act more like business; cruel because we won’t allow it to and dangerous because it creates the illusion that we do, pre-empting any efforts at change under the theory that they are already under way.
