#FCPresents: Dan Pallotta

Complementing the FCP Conversations Online series, #FCPresents strives to strengthen the non-profit sector by inviting thought leaders to share their expertise.

On March 19, 2025, FCP welcomed Dan Pallotta, a pioneer in the global effort to transform the way our culture evaluates the character and impact of nonprofits. The afternoon started with an exclusive screening of his movie “UnCharitable,” followed by a virtual, fireside chat with Dan where he talked about his conviction that unleashed charities can play the leading role in creating an unimaginably beautiful world that works for everyone.
