ABOUT THE EVENT
As we were planning for our 40th anniversary as a social-purposed, not-for-profit organization, UnCharitable resonated with us. As we embark on this year with gratitude, we were incredibly motivated to host a community animation event which includes a viewing of this documentary, and an impactful IN PERSON keynote presented by Dan following the exclusive viewing(s) of UnCharitable.
Futureworx wants to share its passion for this (social helpful) work by being a part of a movement to create a future where our diverse communities can come together to collaborate, innovate, celebrate achievements and success to dream boldly. We want to create a future where no one is left behind!
We look forward to hosting this event and continuing this important discussion.

A NEW WAY FORWARD FOR THE CHARITY & SOCIAL PURPOSE SECTOR IN NOVA SCOTIA
UnCharitable will change you. It will change everything you’ve ever thought or been taught about charity, giving, solving the great problems of human suffering that have plagued humanity since the beginning of time and building a world that works for everyone, with, as Buckminster Fuller said, “no one and nothing left out.” You will come away with hope you thought was no longer possible.
Join us in a conversation about how nonprofits are unfairly pressured to cut salaries, lower operating costs and delay long term investments, which all degrade organizations’ abilities to accomplish their missions.
As we gear up for an annual event, it all starts here…. with you! Our tickets for the screening of Uncharitable are only $25 each and movie snacks will be provided. We believe it is important for everyone to access this important documentary!
Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, UnCharitable demands that charities be freed from the traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints, so that they can truly change the world.
Uncharitable delivers an emotional journey that moves, persuades and inspires its audience to change the way we think about giving. 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.
