Why This Book Matters
The Revolution Will Not Be Funded is a landmark anthology that exposes how the nonprofit industrial complex often co-opts radical work, limits community power, and reshapes movements to be more palatable to funders than accountable to the people they serve. Through essays by organizers, scholars, and activists, INCITE! brings forward a bold critique of philanthropy and its role in constraining justice work.
This book is essential reading for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, consultants, and board members navigating the tension between impact and compliance. It challenges readers to interrogate how organizational structures, funding streams, and strategic plans may be unintentionally upholding the very systems they aim to dismantle.
The Revolution Will Not Be Funded also offers vision and strategy. It shares models for community-led work that resists institutional capture and centers radical accountability. Whether you are rethinking your development strategy, restructuring your organization, or simply searching for language that reflects your lived frustration with philanthropy, this book names what many feel but are afraid to say.
It is both a critique and a tool. For those committed to moving resources without moving away from liberation, this book helps connect values to structure, strategy to solidarity, and funding to real community power.
