SUBJECT: FINDING THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE CHARITY IN THE GTA
At your request, the other members of the Ryerson Business Students Association committee and I, have researched and acquired information on three different charities around the area of the university to best identity which charity would be the most deserving of a donation. We have done this by collecting information from each organization and comparing them to see which charity best meets the set of criteria we have chosen.
This report is comprised of the set of criteria we have used to compare each organization, the three alternatives we have chosen, a diagram and a recommendation

The organization itself has many visible signs of supporting diversity as many of the images on its website depict various business people, both men and women, many of whom appear to be from different cultures. However, not much else is known about the level of diversity in this organization as information on that aspect of the charity is sparse (based on the company website).
Alternative 2: Inner City Angels
This charity was founded in 1969 by activist Marianne Heller. It is one of the closest charities to the university as it focuses on helping children in inner-city Toronto. By donating to Inner City Angels the RBSA will be donating to a charity that focuses on promoting arts education and ‘hands-on’ training for inner city children who do not have the facilities to get an arts education. This foundation helps youths to realize their full creative potential by pairing them with arts organizations, educators and artists who educate them on the arts and work with them on creative art projects. This, ultimately, helps the youth with their personal development as they will be working in a communal environment with other youths. The organization’s various programs include; Graphic Stories, where artists assist youths in

Looking at a worldwide established company such as Microsoft, diversity is a major aspect that they adhere to. This is because, being an international company, it needs set standards that other companies look up to. A wide range of people from different
Diversity within an organization is a blending of people from various cultural, religious and ethnic backgrounds. Diversity has challenged organizations to set realistic goals for its leaders as well as its employees. The organization must look at the moral, ethical and social responsibilities it has toward its employees and understand their legal obligations set by laws. It is important for
The local arts and culture scene supports Toronto's tourism industry, one of the key pillars of its economy.
Diversity has become a major part of society in the past decade and organizations have continued to adapt to our changing world. One way that organizations provide support for human and world differences is by creating a diversity mission statements that support the company’s actions. Diversity mission statements for corporations compared to non-profit organizations are more similar than I expected since. Verizon Wireless is the corporation I chose to research due to their current market share and success of the company. Verizon (2017) stated in their diversity statement how important and vital their employee differences have contributed to their success. According to Verizon (2017), 59% is their current workforce diversity and over half of
In my personal experience, I usually navigate websites to find information about a specific service or a product, but I have never paid too much attention to analyze if the company has a commitment to diversity and how this is promoted in their website. For the sake of this assignment, I will analyze Kaiser Permanente’s website and I will briefly explain why I chose Kaiser.
Our company has done great job in managing diversity so far. We rank in the 11th of the Diversity Incorporated Top 50, and rank the 8th of the Diversity Incorporated Top 10 companies, which has women in the executive committee. In our company, 29% employees in our company are minorities, we are concerned about diversity in work place, and we appreciate our employees’ opinions. We endeavor to provide equal pay and
People often assume diversity is hiring unrepresented minorities in the workplace and then checking the box. Diversity is much deeper than that. With a diverse team, each team member brings a unique point of view to the group. These varying perspectives allow teams to reach higher understandings and produce significantly better results. With our ArcelorMittal presentation, we chose women (like most groups) as our unrepresented minority. We had two women in our group, who could give us a realistic perspective of how appealing our program was. If we were a group of all men, we could only speculate the success of our program. This is the case for almost any team project. With most team projects, the audience is diverse. Having a diverse team

“At capital One, diversity means seeking out and embracing differences for the richness those differences add to our lives and to our business.” (http://www.capitalone.com/about/corporatecitizenship/diversity.php) A company that opens it business to diversity has the ability to value human differences, and in return acquire beneficial relationships. Capital One has partnered with MWBE (Minority and Women Business Enterprises) and the relationship is yielding a positive reaction in terms of the communities that house Capital One and in the corporate world.

According to Dr. Elaine K. Miller of the College of Business at Colorado State University, there is a driving force behind the push to embrace diversity in a business organization:
the organization i chose to give a large donation to is Milwaukee Collegiate Academy.

After screening the four finalists for our nonprofit donation list, I have been able to rank the four to identify which organization aligns best with our philanthropic goals. The rankings are based on the impact, cause, accountability, and size of the nonprofit organization. From highest to lowest, my rankings are as follows:
Rob and Alice Thomas, along with a group of founding donors, shared a vision for a thriving Catholic high school available to students and families in central Pennsylvania. As Saint Joe’s has continued to grow and develop, and benefit more students, the Thomases have renewed their generous support time and again. Most recently, Rob and Alice contributed $200,000, a portion of which completed the generous $50,000 match from the Joseph & Susan Rogacs Family Fund. The matching challenge from the Rogacs is an extremely important step toward the next phase of our sustainability plan, which is to significantly grow participation in our annual giving campaign and our leadership giving program. Adding new contributors who can build on the legacy of the Thomas family is vital to achieving our studentcentered goals.
The world's increasing globalization requires more interaction among people from diverse cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds than ever before. People no longer live and work in an insular marketplace; they are now part of a worldwide economy with competition coming from nearly every continent. For this reason, profit and non-profit organizations need diversity to become more creative and open to change. Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity
