Can Form 2350 Charities 2023-2024

I want to talk about social innovation and social entrepreneurship. I happen to have triplets - they're little, they were five years old. Sometimes when I tell people I have triplets, they ask, "Really? How many?" Here's a picture of the kids: Sage, Annalisa, and Ryder. Now, I also happen to be gay. Being gay and fathering triplets is, by far, the most socially innovative and socially entrepreneurial thing I have ever done. The real social innovation I want to talk about involves charity. I want to discuss how the traditional ways of thinking about giving, charity, and the nonprofit sector are actually undermining the causes we love and our profound yearning to change the world. But before I dive into that topic, I want to ask if we even believe that the nonprofit sector has a serious role in changing the world. Many people now argue that business will lift up the developing economies and that social business will take care of the rest. While I do believe that business can move the great mass of humanity forward, it often leaves behind the 10% or more that are most disadvantaged or unlucky. Social business needs markets, but there are some issues for which you just can't develop the kind of monetary measures needed for a market. I sit on the board of a Center for the developmentally disabled, and these individuals want laughter, compassion, and love. How do you monetize that? This is where the nonprofit sector and philanthropy come in. Philanthropy is the market for love - it is the market for all those people for whom there is no other market available. If we truly desire a world that works for everyone, with no one and nothing left out, then the nonprofit sector must be taken seriously....
