Based on Dan’s book by the same title and seven years in the making, “Uncharitable” brings Dan’s big ideas about liberating the nonprofit sector to the big screen in an incredibly moving and persuasive feature-length movie.  

This is the most powerful tool ever created for changing the minds of staff, board members, donors, volunteers and everyone else you need on your team to go after the big dreams you have for changing the world around you.

“Uncharitable” re-shuffles our old notions about saints and sinners, heroes and heretics, good and greed. It follows the stories of three record-breaking entrepreneurial charitable initiatives that were mercilessly attacked by the media, ultimately devastating the very people the initiatives were helping. It builds on Dan’s book and TED Talk on charity, which was voted the single most persuasive TED talk of all time by the TED community.

Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal—“Uncharitable” offers a radical but simple idea: abandon our sack-cloth-and-ashes constraints on nonprofits. Give them the same economic freedoms we give to business and charities can lead the way to changing the world. Propelled by poignant, personal stories and featuring Edward Norton, Darren Walker from the Ford Foundation, the founders of No Kid Hungry, Charity:Water, Wounded Warrior Project, Last Mile Health, Invisible Children, and other prominent figures in philanthropy, “Uncharitable” takes audiences on a profoundly moving and hopeful journey to a new new domain of possibility wherein lies a world that can work for everyone.
