"When I wrote "Uncharitable," I was unprepared for the flood of
people asking me, How do we make this happen? What can I do? Where do we start? So I am working on a book that will answer those questions. It will be published by Jossey-Bass in the spring of 2012. One of the things it will recommend is that we change the laws that constrain our potential. And I believe those changes should be visionary and sweeping. We need a national civil rights act for charity and social enterprise. To get it, we need a process for collecting the best ideas that should go into it. This new book will start that process, and I hope that you'll have a say in it. That's why we've set up this little site - to begin collecting the ideas of people in the humanitarian sector, of social entrepreneurs, academics, college students, and anyone and everyone who wants to change the world." - Dan Pallotta
