This is an excerpt from an open letter I sent to the Colorado Springs Independent Sector meeting, and includes the action steps you can actually take: The Philanthropist TV show should be supported. This is an incredible opportunity and benefit to the entire non-profit sector. THERE IS A PRIME TIME TV SHOW DEALING WITH NON-PROFIT ISSUES! This is great! Don’t miss the forest for the trees, and I don’t care whether or not you think “it’s not an accurate portrayal of the difficulties that non-profit professionals face.” It is entertainment and it will generate interest and conversation about non-profits! Believe me; you don’t want to be hosting the panel 3 years from now “What could non-profits have done better to have kept The Philanthropist from being canceled.” Here’s what you can do now, and have your supporters do the same: Contact Angela Bromstad, President of NBC Primetime Entertainment, and tell her that you’re a fan and want the show picked up for next season. Then e-mail Tom Fontana, co-creator and writer at TomFontana@gmail.com and tell him that you’ve sent the message of support to NBC.
