Non-Profit Organization Analysis

My focus is on non-profit organizations (that help the homeless population/low income clients) and shelters that provide women/families to stay for a specified period of time. Each shelter has a program that the residents have to abide by to stay in compliance. Each person must have a job, seeking employment, or take advantage of an opportunity to learn to be a CDA. There are also other opportunities that are available that the residents can take advantage of. Each non-profit organization has funding from the government, Kiser, P. (2012), (pp. 46-50), private companies that help the organization, and with donations.

Best Buddies is a non-profit organization that promotes the good through one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It has created lasting relationships between students with disabilities and their peers, therefore, helping to improve the quality of life and level of inclusion for a population that is often isolated and excluded. It has also provided employment opportunities for those with IDD, allowing them to be productive members of the labour force. Lastly, Best Buddies has given those with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to realize their potential by encouraging them to become leaders.

The Public Theater has been a staple of the New York City theater community for over 50 years now. Part of The Public’s core values include providing great content for the community and making sure that content is accessible to as wide an audience as possible. This mission is highly appealing to potential donors and foundation committee’s as it provides a very transparent place for donations to land and be used to directly improve the community. Through a clear mission, a great legacy and a proven track record of community centered engagement, The Public Theater’s clearly has a great capacity to fundraise.

As an assignment for a public radio station I volunteered at, my partner and I were assigned to get sound bites. The Ralph’s in Downtown L.A. was featuring Homegirl Industries mango salsa in their deli section (Hirsch, 2009). At the event, most of the news outlets there focused on getting quotes from mayor Villaraigosa. This made it easier for my partner and I to get quotes from young adults that were part of Homeboy Industries. Through this assignment, I learned about the non-profit group and its goal to transform the lives of former gang members. This paper focuses on the non-profit organization Homeboy Industries and its contributions to the cultural region. The beginning focuses on the brief history of gang activity in Los Angeles, and

In this week’s lesson we are looking at the importance of having a chart of accounts in our nonprofit business. At HOPE which is the business that I support. The main focus is to house and provide support to those who are homeless, mentally ill and may be struggling with dual issues. Because there is a need in a nonprofit to show measurements to determine success in each area. Charts are created for every service area the HOPE supports ( Margolis, S. (2014, 11).

Throughout my life I have volunteered for a few organizations. During my underclassmen years I volunteered at Seven Bridges Ranch throughout my summers. My responsibilities included taking care of all their horses, which meant, feeding, watering, grooming, exercising, etc. I was also kept up with some of the simple yard keep. Another great organization I volunteer for is called, 15 Forever Community Foundation. This is a foundation that gives 15,000 dollars to non-profit organizations. I have been doing this for three years, and the board members and I discuss what we want our funding focus is for the year, and then read each application, and decide who is best fit to receive the money. I have always loved being outdoors, and one of the non-profits

As I note in BIO posted on the class wall, I come from the corporate security world. When I left, I found myself working for a non-profit organization as an advocate for adults of all ages with all types of developmental disabilities. My team and I work with our amazing clients on a daily basis to make sure that they are able to enjoy and live the fullest lives possible in the mainstream community they reside in. We provide, advocacy, education, housing, employment, medical assistance, transportation and pretty much any other basic life tool or skills training needed to be a productive member in their communities. While, folks in the mainstream community are more accepting of my clients with developmental disabilities, they sometimes not as

the most ethnically diverse of school districts of comparable size in Texas. Virtually every culture of the modern world is represented in its 45,000 plus student enrollment; more than 60 languages and dialects are spoken. A variety of guest speakers, culture clubs, and ethnic fairs help promote a multicultural appreciation. (http://www.imdhouston.org/) Alief ISD recently passed a $345 million bond referendum in May 2015 to enhance school facilities and programs. There is vigorous discussion between the IMD and Alief ISD to open the first International School public school within the District that will attract foreign students from abroad from all over the world to provide Alief students a true global experience and exchange.

When looking at budgeting as a planning tool it is important to see things in the light of today. The world is changing rapidly and so is the need for nonprofits to be creative. As nonprofits face more challenges the need for service has increased. With a nonprofit the budget is usually very tight and funds are often used and stretched yearly (Hackler, D 2007).

Daily, I hear the motto "Students today, world leaders tomorrow." This motivational quote inspires Brooks County High School students in the mornings to do their best of their ability in order to be successful. The bold motto clearly states that students will soon be the people of the future, and their actions will shape the world of tomorrow. Our society needs to be feel secure, knowing that the future generations will be good hands for the world.

Nonprofit Organizations The purpose of this research is to define nonprofit organizations, describe opportunities that are present in nonprofits, outline advantages and disadvantages of working in the nonprofit sector, and explain how you can determine if this is an area for you to consider as a career. WHAT IS THE NONPROFIT SECTOR? "Nonprofit" is a term that the I.R.S. uses to define tax-exempt organizations whose money or "profit" must be used solely to further their charitable or educational mission, rather than distribute profits to owners or shareholders as in the for-profit sector.

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.

There used to be a time when zoos used to be full of animals. A time when extinction was not a problem. That was the past. Today, zoos all around the world are missing many animals such as the African elephant or the dodo bird. All of these wonderful animals became extinct because we were careless enough to let them all die. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an organization that is trying to prevent extinction from happening. WWF is an environmental organization dedicated to “protecting the world’s wildlife and wetlands” ("World Wildlife Fund"). It is one of the largest private supported conservation organizations in the world, with support from one million members in just the United States. WWF was formed on September 11, 1961 in Morges,

World Vision, founded in the USA in 1950 by a young pastor Robert Pierce, is one of the largest relief and development organizations in the world whose total revenue coming grants, product and foreign donations is about $2.6 billion.
