The Magic of Compassionate Activism: Ali Horriyat: The Influential Nonprofit Ep. 158

Ali Horriyat, a former finance manager turned philanthropist, left his career in 2016 to prioritize social impact over profit. He founded Compassiviste in 2020 to further this vision. With diverse academic achievements across multiple countries, he is also an author and advocate for compassion.

Key Takeaways:
✭The desire for more and more wealth is often not merely driven by the material comforts it affords but by the control and power, it can convey. A power that, left unchecked, risks eroding the quality of our relationships and personal well-being.
✭Overcoming the scarcity mentality is vital for nonprofits. Community engagement and collective impact are more crucial than just fundraising.
✭Throwing money at problems is not going to fix anything. Real societal transformation is brought about by the collective effort and concern of people, not just by the money that they bring.
✭A strategic foundation is necessary for social impact work to thrive in the long term. Focus on sustainability, self-sufficiency, and having an exit strategy. Look beyond what’s right in front of you and invest effort and focus into creating an enduring resolution to deep-rooted problems.

“If we can prioritize compassion, through every action that we take, then we're going to be in a better place helping not only people but the entirety of our society.”
- Ali Horriyat
