Can a film and a conversation change the world? We think so after gathering Central Okanagan philanthropists, wealth managers, and nonprofit leaders for a special Cinema for Social Impact event this fall. In October, Purppl and Trellis.org rolled out the red carpet – literally – for this curated group to discuss how outdated views on nonprofit “overhead” stifle potential for massive impact. The goal: to change mindsets in order to change the culture of charitable giving in the region. Over a sumptuous meal, guests watched the documentary UnCharitable, along with a short film we created localizing the issues with interviews from local nonprofit leaders. Then, those same leaders led table discussions about these five key takeaways: Compensation: The societal belief that making money in the nonprofit sector is immoral drives talent away. Paying competitive wages attracts skilled professionals and strengthens organizations. Marketing and Advertising: Investing in marketing is not wasteful; it raises awareness and grows donations, ultimately benefiting the cause more. Risk and Innovation: Charities are discouraged from taking risks, which stifles innovation and limits their ability to grow and scale. Time Horizon: Unlike for-profit ventures, nonprofits are pressured to deliver immediate results. Long-term strategies could lead to much larger, sustainable impacts. Access to Capital: The inability to offer financial returns cuts nonprofits off from large investment pools, hampering their ability to scale ambitious projects. The event was a beautiful celebration of the critical role nonprofits play in our community and a call to rethink philanthropy for greater impact.
