Best Buddies: Non-Profit Organizations

Nonprofit companies include American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and the Food Bank, just to name a few. An administrative assistant might organize functions such as planning a fund raiser or collecting donations on top of office tasks such as answering phone calls, planning meetings, recruiting, and training new workers or volunteers, and computer work. For example, an administrative assistant at the Food Bank may work the front desk answering phones and inputting volunteer hours on the computer while organizing the canned food drive for the upcoming holidays.

Founded in 1942, the Ad Council is non-profit organization that delivers and benefits the lives of society every day. This organization works with tons of companies to promote powerful messages that would have an extreme impact across the country. The Ad Council continues to be the dominant producer in the United States for public service announcements changing the lives of many.

The NCAA is a non-profit organization that organizes and executes college sports, which includes football, basketball, etc. Key word from the previous sentence would be “non-profit organization”. What kind of “non-profit organization” makes as much money as they do? The NCAA players bring in great revenue with their outstanding efforts in bringing their team up to the top, because that is what the fans like to watch. Now does it seem fair that the NCAA does not give the players back any money at all to the players that actually bring the money in? In simple terms the NCAA makes large amounts of profits and needs to start distributing some of the money to the players (History of College Basketball, 2013). According to another article, the

Grand Junction, Colorado is a town in Western Colorado that has taken steps to excel in the health care field by providing cost effective and efficient care to their community. In lecture this week, we have learned that the key system concepts are: shared vision, shared reality, people, parts, interrelationships, leverage, adaptability and iterative learning.1 The article: Grand Junction, Colorado: A Health Community That Works, is an example of a patient-centered medical home that currently exists in the United States, and should be looked at as a possible solution to our current health care overspending crisis. I believe that the health care provided in Grand Junction, Colorado has excelled in all these concepts and will discuss their

A not-for-profit organization responsible for the provision of leisure services would be Boys & Girls Club. This is an organization that truly holds up the values of being a not-for-profit organization. Their mission is "To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens" (Boys & Girls Clubs of America, 2013). With a mission such as this it is obvious that this is an organization that is about the youth and enabling them to grow as individuals.

There are many non-profit organizations that help people ranging from international, like the Lions Club, to small culture-specific, like the Lower Columbia Hispanic Council here in Astoria. Now more than ever does the community need these organizations who help those in need, no matter what a person's status is and the LCHC is a primary example of this. Sadly to our dismay not all of these organizations can last forever with members that are already old enough that they are great-grandparents, which goes to show that even my generation isn't fully aware of how beneficial they are to our growth and development. Just this last year the Lions Club helped with Jordans Walk for Wellness and gave around 200 eye screenings from John Jacob Astor to

The first policy alternative to consider is one suggested by Laura Cox Kaplan, a professor at American University and Co-Chair board member of the organization Running Start. Running Start is a non-profit organization that has the prime goal of combating the gender gap among elected officials and in Congress by motivating young women and giving them the skills that they need to thrive in their work environment (Kaplan, 2017). Kaplan’s suggests that organizations like Running Start can be used to close the gender wage gap both in the government and private sector (2017). The policy alternative would be to create and increase organizations that work closely with young women and provide them with skills needed to succeed in their careers, increase

This memo discusses the findings of federal and non-profit organizations that support public policy research in transportation, forestry, and agriculture. While many organizations provided funds for transportation, forest, and agricultural needs; many did not provide funding opportunities for organizations to conduct public policy related research. However, thirty-four non-profit organizations and two federal website provide funding opportunities for research in the areas transportation, forestry, and/or agricultural public policy. Of those foundations, fifteen are discussed in greater detail below.

There is an eye opening number of endangered and threatened species on planet earth. It is estimated there is a total of 41,415 species barely surviving for numerous reasons. These endangered species include plants as well as animals. Failing to initiate action to help threatened and endangered species would be blatantly absurd. Due to a prodigious grant I have received, I am now equipped to impact the world by creating a non-profit organization called Endangered No More (ENM). To accomplish its main goals, to help raise awareness, and reduce the number of endangered species, ENM will need to incorporate the many leadership skills and practices of exemplary leadership.

Non-profit industry can be generally divided into different categories such as Arts and Culture, Environment and Animal Welfare, Faith-based, Healthcare, Higher Education, Human Services, International Affairs, K–12 Education, Medical Research, and Public and Society Benefit. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) defines more than 25 categories of organizations that are exempt from federal income taxes. For some people, a non profit equals to what the tax code classifies as a charitable or 501(c)(3) organization but a charitable organization must benefit the broad public interest. It must serve at least one of the following purposes defined by IRS: charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national

Non-profit organizations are vital to the nation’s economy even though they don’t generate no commercial revenue because it provides jobs as well as welfare services. These non-profit organizations strive the best in cities that have unemployment issues. The government funds theses non-profit organizations to help provide for those who are less fortunate. People rely on welfare to provide for their families. Welfare provides government funding that helps with the financial assistance to those families who are in need of it. If the government starts to give less funding to those organizations that help provide for the nation, you will begin to see less employees at that non-profit organization. The reason for this is

In today’s world there are hundreds of thousands of non-profit organizations (NPOs) established at the local, regional, national and international level, and their influence is increasing. Non-profit organizations even considered the third sector of the economy (the first two is the public and private, or commercial). It is believed that they have a special role in development of civil society. In those countries, which have largely shaped the system of legislative regulation of the sector (USA, UK, Australia, etc); the state spends huge sums on research programs in the field of standardization of the NPO.

The Bridgespan Group, a non-profit consultancy, conducted a study on the potential of global NGOs.The study found that since 1990 NGOs registered with USAID (United States Agency for International Development) had doubled to 579, and average annual funding has tripled to $50 million and in few cases the annual funding exceeds $1 billion (Queenan et al. 2). Increasingly, NGOs, or Non-Governmental Organizations, dominate healthcare aid and interventions. Their overwhelming presence comes with equally charged influence over key societal issues such as dispersal of aid and types of interventions. This has proven to be controversial as some view NGOs as facilitators of empowerment, change, and progress. Others view them as promoting special agendas and interests, plagued with misinformed and poor policy making, and heavy reliance on funding. Aggregation of these trends raises important questions about the efficiency of NGOs and their impact on the regions they serve. Critics charge that increasing neo-liberal policies fragment healthcare alternatives in host countries; NGOs may not offer sustainable healthcare intervention programs; and that their objectives and policies often work against the host populations, which reinforce inequalities.

Clubs are very common establishments in our society. Firstly, before I further explain all the required information, we have to understand that a club operates differently as compared to a normal business/enterprise. The most imperative difference between a business and this sports club is that a business is established with the aim of generating profit which the owner is entitled to because the owner is the person who provides the start-up capital.
