Join us for a FREE screening of UnCharitable, a powerful documentary that challenges the way we think about charities and how they can truly change the world. Following the film's screening, Kathryn Howden from the Strathcona Food Bank will lead the audience in an engaging discussion. This event is a great opportunity for non-profit board members, volunteers, staff, and individuals who donate to charity to challenge their assumptions and beliefs while learning a radical new way of giving.
Space is limited, register today. About the film After three of the most dynamic and successful U.S. charities were shut down by 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. Beginning with Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking Ted Talk on the subject has inspired top philanthropists and changemakers, this feature documentary exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In an emotional call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints, so that they can truly change the world. No topic is more crucial and timelier 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. Strathcona County is proud to host this event in partnership with the Strathcona Food Bank.
