UnCharitable film screening for the for-purpose sector

Join us for a screening of UnCharitable, the documentary redefining the way we think about charity and social change. 

Facilitated by Social Impact Hub, supported by an anonymous Private Ancillary Fund in Queensland, and screened in collaboration with Philanthropy Australia, this event has been designed for not-for-profit organisations, charities and social enterprises in Queensland to attend.

The screening will be followed by a short panel discussing the themes highlighted in the documentary for philanthropy and the for-purpose sector in Australia. 

About the film

Based on Dan Pallotta's groundbreaking book and viral TED Talk that introduced a radical new way of thinking about giving, UnCharitable is a powerful feature-length 90-minute documentary film built to deliver social and environmental change for good across the globe.

The film exposes the fact that there are two rule books, one for the for-profit sector and one for the not-for-profit sector; and the rules that govern not-for-profits make it impossible for them to solve the world's biggest challenges.

The UnCharitable film delivers thought-provoking insights packaged to move, persuade and inspire UnCharitable's audiences into action.

Strategic screenings are being facilitated by Social Impact Hub across Australia and New Zealand as part of our regional UnCharitable Impact Campaign supported by an anonymous Private Ancillary Fund in Queensland. We do hope you are able to join us.
