Dan Pallotta - TED Talk

Dan Pallotta's messages in this TED Talk are powerful, persuasive, and make a lot of basic sense.  I can tell that his opinions and messages come not only from critical deep thinking, but also from painful personal experience.  The public fascination with nonprofit overhead costs is killing the sector and leaving behind shells of organizations that cannot hope to collectively cope with the needs of our world.

Unfortunately, as Dan points out, the uneven and nonsensical attitudes towards a nonprofit's ability to build capacity and truly grow to fully address the need is deep-seated in our culture and probably impossible to ever completely change.  This means we have a lot of work ahead of us.
