My passion for nonprofits partially comes from my experience working for two separate nonprofits, and partially from me wanting to help make a difference in this world. My time at PACS made me reflect on the two previous jobs I had at nonprofits and how all three intended to make a difference in this world. Furthermore, I pondered what the impact was of a key difference on the two nonprofits I previously worked. The key difference is that one was a Christian organization, the other was not. PACS showed me a middle ground of sorts, were the organization itself is not Christian or religious even though it is created with values that are held by

The diversity of nonprofit organizations, services provided and the problems faced shows that nonprofits require leadership with an in-depth understanding of the multifaceted nonprofit landscape. Understanding the culture of nonprofit work is also crucial and much easier to understand once you have been through a nonprofit management program. My career interests lead me towards an avocation of a deeper knowledge of strategic management/planning, legal structure and standards, increase my skills in quantitative analysis of policy, financial governance and developing fundraising strategies. These areas allow for macro management within the nonprofit

Everyone who is employed within this agency, which is roughly 75 employees among the Atascosa agency, must have obtained a BA in sociology or something similar. She explained the number one issue she faces with this career, is the idea that she is only one human being. She feels tied down at times because she is only human, and only able to do one thing at a time. She wishes to help those in need all day everyday. Their mission statement is a Christ-centered organization dedicated to assisting children and families in achieving their fullest potential through a continuum of program and services. She gave me the exact number of individuals they have helped to date, 10,883,327. This agency has such an intriguing story, which is why I chose this agency. Every dollar given to this agency makes a huge impact. The more this agency has, the more they return. They take the responsibility given to them under huge consideration and manage every aspect given. The heart of their vision is to be the hands and feet of Christ; to provide care, service and compassion that is pleasing to the Lord and honors his love for all

Most nonprofit agencies follow the same management structure. The structure normally consists of a vertical hierarchal structure with the chief executive manager at the helm, and divisional leaders rounding out the strategic leadership team. Since 9/11, then government shutdowns, multiple wars, natural disasters, and the government sequester, the challenge to most nonprofits is to compete for every available charitable dollar. Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of nonprofits must not only be skillful in maximizing the outcomes with fewer dollars, but also politically savvy in vying for monies for federal, state, local, foundation, and private funding sources.

Just like I am better able to serve the Head Start families due to my educational background on the inner workings of poverty; learning about the inner workings of non-profits will qualify me as a leader who can effect change on a larger scale within ABCD.

This is a group of students who meet together weekly to discuss, pray over, and advocate for injustices around the world. As of first semester of sophomore year I have been one of the leaders of this group; through this, God has opened my eyes and broken my heart for victims of abuse, violence, and injustice in the world. I believe that God desires for our hearts to be broken for what breaks his heart, not just so we hurt, but so we wake up and help those who hurt. This is where my passion for nonprofit ministry lies, I hope to help those who are hurting; exactly what profession or ministry that will take me to, I am not sure, but I have full confidence that God will lead me to the right ministry when he sees fits.

Since I first delved into community service two years ago, I have not only found a passion for helping others, but also a sense of belonging. After my freshman year of highschool, I was lacking direction. I had no idea what I wanted to involve myself in, but I knew I wanted to start something to help people. Therefore, my friends and I created our own charity, The Pink Bowz. Since 2015, I have worked in my community to expand this organization which helps women battling breast cancer. The Pink Bowz has since completed approximately 200 hours of community service and donated over $5000 to five women in the Hampstead - Wilmington area. Through this experience I found a passion for the fundraising process. I campaigned at my school to start a

As a nonprofit fundraiser, it is difficult to truly see the mission that your team raises money for every single day. Fundraisers at the American Red Cross are trained as “sales people,” and before this volunteer experience I had never even been on a Red Cross disaster response call. Throughout the duration of the semester, I was able to gain true insight into the core of the organization and mission. This opportunity allowed me to not only enhance my career at the American Red Cross, but gave me a 360-degree view of the entire organization and the fundamentals of the Red Cross mission.

It is the intent of this paper to discuss an Executive Director of a non-profit organization. I personally chose this because I am the acting Executive Director of My Veteran Community, a non-profit aimed to help military veterans, service members, and their families. As My Veteran Community becomes fully operational I will officially be appointed this position. I have done private research to figure out what exactly an Executive Director does, but this research paper has given me the opportunity to take a more in depth approach to answering that question.

I live in Chesapeake, Virginia (Eastern Time Zone) and I am a retired federal employee. In my previous career, I worked in logistics and finance. After retirement, I decided to pursue my passion for helping others. I did a lot of volunteer work for non-profit organizations and found there was a real need for people with business and financial experience. So, I used my skills to help a lot of disadvantaged people. This resulted in me seeking additional education to become an Executive Director of a non-profit organization. I am pursuing a degree in Business Administration, Non-Profit Management.
