Dan Pallotta Quotes

Our generation does not want its epitaph to read, ‘We kept charity overhead low.’ We want it to read that we changed the world Picture Quote #1

I have always been terrified of the death of my parents. I never knew if I could count on myself. I never knew if that would send me over the edge Picture Quote #1

You used to be able to just call people. You didn’t have to be on someone’s calendar to have a phone conversation. The telephone was an important and valuable domain of communication, both for casual, friendly chats and for professional exchanges of ideas and information. But no more Picture Quote #1

It’s time to re-think charity. It’s time to give charity the big-league freedoms we really give to business. The fight for these freedoms must be our new cause, because without them, all of our causes are ultimately lost Picture Quote #1

It’s time to stop obsessing about overhead and start focusing on progress. Change charity, and charity can change the world Picture Quote #1

We aren’t upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can’t develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can Picture Quote #1

When we show people that something is possible that they didn’t think was possible it does more than just change things. It changes the way people think about the possibility of things changing. It helps them see that life is not the same day-after day, unsurprising, unending drudgery that so much of life teaches them that it is. And that is a huge contribution to their humanity Picture Quote #1

We have a visceral reaction to the idea that anyone would make very much money helping other people. Interesting that we don’t have a visceral reaction to the notion that people would make a lot of money NOT helping other people Picture Quote #1

And when your phone rings, pick it up. Open yourself up to the possibility a phone call offers. Discover this remarkable device called the telephone. It will give you a serious competitive advantage Picture Quote #1

When you prohibit failure, you kill innovation. If you kill innovation in fundraising, you can’t raise more revenue. If you can’t raise more revenue, you can’t grow. And if you can’t grow, you can’t possibly solve large social problems Picture Quote #1

People are yearning to be asked to use the full measure of their potential for something they care about Picture Quote #1

You can’t know if your values are being violated if you’re ambiguous about what they are Picture Quote #1

Your ability to stand up for your truth is a muscle, and the more you exercise it the stronger it gets Picture Quote #1

What’s important is how we use our time on this earth, not how conspicuously we give our money away. What’s important is the energy and courage we are willing to expend reversing entropy, battling cynicism, suffering and challenging mediocre minds, staring down those who would trample our dreams, taking a stand for magic, and advancing the potential of the human race Picture Quote #1

Philanthropy is the market for love. It is the market for all those people for whom there is no other market coming Picture Quote #1

Everyone wants charities to spend as little as possible on overhead. That’s backwards. Overhead is what drives growth. If charities can’t grow, they can’t solve problems. So overhead is a good thing. And I’m overhead Picture Quote #1
