Several requests have come asking for a copy of the PowerPoint presentation. The material can be found in two forms at the links below.

The book from which I took the title for the discussion is a collection of essays pointing out how too often the non-profit sector is compromised by its funding sources. The "revolution" I spoke to involves integrity, action, resolve and courage linked to the day-to-day hard work of engaging the poor, as well as the forces that keep too many in that state.
