We’ve just finished our first ever Patreon book club pick, The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex and we have so many thoughts. Not all of them are good. In fact, they are downright infuriating in terms of the power imbalance in nonprofit funding.
In today’s episode, we’re giving you our high-level summary and review of the significant points of the book. We touch on the chapters that really stood out to us, especially those about ethical funding, systems of power, and our political climate. It’s opened our eyes to the fact that not much has changed in the funding landscape for the past 20 years. For a much deeper dive into this book, be sure to join our Patreon and listen to the bonus episodes.
