My Non-Profit Organization: The American Cancer Society (ACS)

I was raised with the fundamental notion of service to mankind, I have always been interested in society’s injustices and problems, and being a catalyst for change. This has brought me to applying to the University of Central Florida’s Master of Nonprofit Management program within the School of Public Administration. I am currently a practitioner in Social Work and serve as the Director of Social Services at the Orlando Area Command of The Salvation Army. I have received my bachelors and master’s degree in Social Work from Barry University in Miami, FL.

I remember the moment when I executed what I love to do. Until then, I had always been the late bloomer, the searcher. When I come to think of it, one of my passions had always been right in front of my eyes, just waiting to be grasped. Yet, I never believed that what I already knew about myself was enough to find my future. I was in dogged pursuit of an elusive goal, on the lookout for anything relating to my passion, hunting, scratching the dirt off all things that could be potential futures for my passion of presenting to an audience. But nothing came of it until I stopped looking. The second year of high school when I was chosen as the lead representative for the Non-Profit Management program, the first of its education offered to high

The American Cancer Society is a big part of cancer. This ACS (American Cancer Society) is an organization that raises money to help researchers find cures and ways to prevent cancer. Raising money for the ACS will help them, doctors, and scientists discover treatments and lifesaving research. It is known that one in every four deaths is from cancer and approximately 1,500 people a day dies or are diagnosed with cancer. The American Cancer Society wants to change that. Donating to the ACS will help them grow and encourage other people to make a change. The American Cancer Society helps saves lives and prevents suffering from the deadly disease called cancer.

ACS also partners up with many different support groups which help patients through their cancer journey. The groups include: Reach to Recovery, Man to

I would like to focus on one non-profit organization that has been doing very well in the recent years. The name of the organization is St Jude Research Hospital, which deals with the cure and treatment of children suffering from catastrophic diseases. In the five decades, it has been operational, the mortality rate has gradually reduced therefore saving lots of lives. St Jude started its operations in 1962. Danny Thomas was the one who started the organization and was helped by two other close friends (Pui, Pei, Pappo, Howard, Cheng, Sandlund and Gajjar, 2012).

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Together with its supporters, ACS is committed to helping people stay well and get well by finding cures and by fighting back.

How do ACOs work for patients? In the current health system, patients handle coordinating their care. For instance, a patient with breast cancer

Imagine a world without cancer, without the families suffering because a loved one is battling the fight against a disease that claims the most lives every year. This is what the American Cancer Society is aspires for in the long run. Ever since the American Cancer Society was created in 1913, they have been dedicated to eradicating the disease known as cancer. They put the best interest of the people and take action to make it happen. The American Cancer Society (ACS) uses its eventful history to take action to help the millions of people who are suffering from cancer and work to find advancements in the battle against it.

I am a consultant for nonprofits, specifically for the arts. The company I am evaluating is The Comedy Shop, which was founded by Zane Birnie. The Comedy Shop is up-and-coming and has recently received their not-for-profit status. I will be emphasizing on The Comedy Shop’s fundraising portfolio that Birnie has constructed for presentation. The Comedy Shop is located in Hoboken, New Jersey, which is strategically located 20 minutes outside New York City. Their focus is providing reasonably priced comedy classes, modest comedy shows, and a supportive environment for their students. The Comedy Shop’s target age group is from teens to young adults.

Not for profit organisations consist of organisations that are not run for the profit or personal gain of individual/s. They are often referred to as charities and provide benefit services to society, often encouraging people to band together by sharing resources to achieve a common goal. Profits can be obtained by these organisations but must applied for the organisations purposes. These organisations include Surf life-saving, Churches, and Salvation Army etc. (Sessoms, 2014).

When I think non-for-profit that means you are trying to help out people in the city mine is going to be helping teens with disablists to get in shape and gain muscle. The name of my organization is “Live Fit-Live Life” It will show other people that the gym can be for everyone and that’s what I like about helping out others at the end of the gym session they are happy. My mission statement is to help kids with disablists be more open to the gym and find workouts that they can do to stay fit and live a happy life. When joining, my target will be more around teens because that is the age group I like to work with but other can come to the gym and learn new things when watching the classes. My personal role is to teach the teens what workouts

As a non-profit organization, our company has been profoundly doing well in helping raise money for families. Being with an organization which is committed to providing assistance to families in impoverished towns is very generous. Although, there is a concern I would like to address regarding using certain data we are using in our annual reports.The company uses pie charts to display data and prefers one type of pie chart over the other. I feel that we should use the pie chart which demonstrates the percentages.

Non-profit organizations do not belong to the commercial sector or the public sector, but occupy an intermediate position. It gives
