The way we think about charity is dead wrong

This can be applied so appallingly truthfully to our stroke associations. Look at the results our stroke associations have given us. NOTHING!!!  Nothing on understanding and repeating neuroplasticity. Nothing on solving fatigue and spasticity. Nothing on fast, easy and objective diagnosis of strokes.

Activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta calls out the double standard that drives our broken relationship to charities. Too many nonprofits, he says, are rewarded for how little they spend — not for what they get done. Instead of equating frugality with morality, he asks us to start rewarding charities for their big goals and big accomplishments (even if that comes with big expenses). In this bold talk, he says: Let's change the way we think about changing the world.
