Product Description:

This is a five-disc set of audio of the 2004 conference- The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex.  At this conference, over 25 activists and scholars described and discussed the non-profit industrial complex (NPIC); a system of relationships between the state, the owning classes, foundations, and social service/social justice organizations.

The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex answers the following questions:

  • What is the history of the non-profit model? What drove its development? How does it impact the form and direction of social justice organizing?
  • How has reliance on foundation funding impacted the course of social justice movements?
  • How does 501(c)3 non-profit status impact social justice organizations' relationship to the state?
  • How does non-profit status allow the state to co-opt and control our movements?
  • Are there ways the non-profit model can be used subversively to support more radical visions for social change?
  • What are the alternatives for building viable social justice movements?  How do we resource our movements outside the non-profit structure?
  • What models for organizing outside the NGO/non-profit mofel exist outside the U.S. that mayhelp us?
