Do you serve on a nonprofit board in the Triangle or surrounding areas? Are you a funder that supports nonprofits? Join us for a FREE screening of Uncharitable, a film that highlights our societal viewpoints of corporate and nonprofit spending and investment. It is designed to create conversation about how we empower or limit nonprofits to deliver their mission. The next showing will be held at the Marbles iMax Theater in Raleigh, NC on Wednesday, June 12th from 5-7 pm. Seats are going fast! Reserve your spot here.
Two nonprofits will be randomly chosen to receive $2500 at each screening. Your nonprofit could be the one!
Our goal in promoting the Uncharitable documentary and book among nonprofit leaders, board members and funders is conversation.
We don't claim to have the answers, but we are fully committed to leading and engaging the conversation. We hope you will continue to speak in. In the meantime, here is what some leaders and funders had to say. Read More
