hosts Changing the Way the World is
Changed, a PHILANTHROPY MIAMI
Leadership Forum on Thursday, Feb. 21 that’s designed to question whether non-profit
leaders should adopt a more aggressive economic approach and manage their
charitable organizations like businesses.
The half-day event from noon to 6 p.m. on
Thursday, Feb. 21 at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail, features renowned
author and social entrepreneur Dan Pallotta,
whose book “Charity Case: How the
Nonprofit Community Can Stand Up For Itself and Really Change the World,”
offers a radical approach to non-profit management.
Pallotta will
present his philosophy to local leaders and guide them through a discussion
aimed at creating a shift in the traditional non-profit mindset.
"What if we let philanthropies [or nonprofits] operate
like businesses? Let them pay for talent, advertise aggressively to build
market share—even build a stock market for charity. Maybe then capitalism could
finally save the world,” wrote Pallotta in a recent Wall Street Journal
article.
The Leadership Forum also features a
discussion with leading non-profit CEOs from organizations such as Big
Brothers, Big Sisters, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and Sant
La Neighborhood Center, and a panel dedicated to recruiting and building strong
volunteer board members.
The Leadership Forum is part of LEAVE A
LEGACY’s PHILANTHROPY MIAMI, a two-part conference on successful trends and
practices in non-profit management. The second part of the conference is
planned for Thursday, March 14 at Hilton Miami Downtown, 1601 Biscayne Blvd.
It features two separate tracks: Fundraising Basics, an intensive overview
for those new to development and Toolkits, geared to those who have more
experience in the field. Toolkits will showcase strategies non-profits can use
to increase their donations and the number of ongoing supporters.
Susan Packard,
co-founder of HGTV, headlines the conference on March 14. Packard is known in
the television industry for her innovation and creating a successful cable
network focused solely on home improvement. She believes that innovation is one
of the keys to success for non-profits vying for limited funding dollars.
PHILANTHROPY MIAMI is sponsored by the
John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; Bank of America; Wells Fargo, Baptist Health
South Florida Foundation; Florida International University; Peacock Foundation,
Inc.; and SunTrust.
