Transformative Publisher's summary

Transformative is an audacious literary work presented over three series.

The First Series previews what positive, inclusive, and sustained socioeconomic and environmental transformation entails and why genuine change is as needed now as it is painfully overdue. The author highlights the downsides of the current charitable fund-infatuated model (dubbed the “fundability syndrome”) and exposes the differences between many of today’s superficial light-stroke philanthropy and the posited transformative paradigm. The First Series also touches on nonprofits’ fading luster and the need to expand the breadth of interventions and agents beyond mere charity and transactional nonprofits. The author explores the impacts and drawbacks of donors’ motives and how harmful and contra-transformative acts can disguise under the canopy of philanthropy.

The Second Series expands on the notion of Agents of Positive Transformation (dubbed the “apt actors”) with emphasis on four prominent actors (the “Big Four”). The author isolates four significant and intertwined realities affecting transformation and cross-examines those from the lens of each of the abovementioned four apt actors. Namely accentuated in the Second Series are the roles these agents play in both unfortunately causing and bridging the unfulfilled transformational potentials at the sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and environmental levels.

The Third Series extensively examines the fourteen transformative pillars that Apt actors must embrace to become genuinely transformational and reveals their cross-cutting and multi-directional interlinks.

To underpin the constructs presented, the author mines into 34,000 records of acknowledged donors of more than 150 US-based internationally oriented humanitarian nonprofits and cites more than 220 examples throughout the three Series.
