For-profit nonprofits?

Author Dan Pallotta, author of the book "Unforgiven," spoke in Pearson Hall on Tuesday about his thoughts on and experiences with the charity world. In "Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential," published by Tufts University Press in December, Pallotta argues that a for-profit model to charity work can be a successful approach; he founded the for-profit company Pallotta TeamWorks, which designs charity events.
