credit:

The talk was given at a TEDx event in Milwaukee, and was independently produced by the TED Conferences. Jeff Snell, social innovator and changemaker, argues that the problem in the charitable sector is not that it doesn't have enough charities, but rather that many of them are not sustainable.
