WIP Community Documentary Screening: Uncharitable

At the Scranton Area Community Foundation, we believe strong communities are built through connection, participation, and shared purpose.

Through our Women in Philanthropy initiative, we invite you to join us for the fourth event in our 2026 Community Documentary Series. The evening will feature a screening of the powerful documentary, Uncharitable.

After three incredibly successful U.S. charitable campaigns were attacked by charity watchdogs, destroying lives and cutting off precious resources, many of the top influencers in the field knew something had to be done to overhaul the nonprofit sector.

Led by Dan Pallotta, whose record-breaking TED Talk on the subject has inspired leading philanthropists and changemakers, this feature-length documentary directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal exposes the dark side of philanthropy and introduces a radical new way of giving. In a powerful call to action, Uncharitable demands that charities be freed from traditional sackcloth-and-ashes constraints so they can truly change the world.

Following the screening, we will host a brief panel conversation.
