Non Profit Work Ethical Research

Executive Compensation. I’m in agreement with Thomas Piketty that the one cause of rising inequality in the United States “the rise of supersalaries” for top executives (Piketty & Goldhammer, 2014, p. 298). The average American estimates CEO to worker pay ratio at about 30-to-1, which is more than 4 times what they believe to be ideal. The career review site Glassdoor reported from 2014 data that the average pay ratio of CEO to median worker was 204-to-1 and that at the top of the list, four CEOs earn more than 1,000 times the salary of their median worker with the very top pay ratio of 1,951-to-1. In some cases a CEO makes in one-hour what it takes the average employee six-months to earn. In comparison, the Washington Post reported for the

Many people have dreams and aspirations for the future. Some want to be rich, have their dream home, be famous or travel the world. While these are all great goals and aspirations, they are not a wish of mine. My dream is to open a non-profit organization that assists in finding employment for disabled adults, specifically autistic adults. Before beginning this establishment I must have a solid vision, the mission of the non-profit, the goals I am aspiring to reach and a firm set of policies in place all while ensuring the correct management style is utilized.

Due to unforeseen events, the household income for the family was depleted to the poverty level of $24,600. Due to my interests, I decided to work for a non-profit organization that focuses on education reform and decided to participate in more pro-bono work to be able to increase my experience as a lawyer. I was fired from my previous education reform lawyer position due to layoffs and having just started working at the company, I was an obvious choice. The firm that my wife worked for fired her, and she is currently looking for a job. Since she is a social worker and has a degree in sociology, it is difficult to find jobs that match her interests and pay well enough. As one can imagine, a non-profit organization lawyer does not make as

What is it about the health care debate that sparks so much passion in the United States? Study after study over the past few decades provide little as to which system is better. Depending on who you ask, some will say that For-Profit hospitals are better because they tend to approach ownership from a business point of view, while non-profit point offer more money losing services to the advancement community as the emphasis (Rotarius, Trujillo, Liberman, & Ramirez, 2005). Of course, the majority of these studies are often isolated from other variables measuring a single metric in a certain region of the country. For instance, the delivery of uncompensated care. Though they share many business similarities, the greatest distinction between nonprofit

The final reason that the companies are over paying CEOs is that the nonprofit organizations are paying their CEOs very highly. According to Peter Frumkin in his article “Are nonprofit CEOs overpaid?” he writes about “264 big nonprofit CEOs earn a salary of $207,990… and a CEO of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation earn 389,327” (83). These are a nonprofit companies yet they are paying there CEOs quite a bit of money that could be going toward the cause they are trying to raise for. The CEOs should not be earning that amount of money when it is being given to go towards the cause that they people are giving their money for. A CEO that is supposed to find money to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis is taking a good amount of the money home that

Did you know that there are more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in just the U.S. (nccs.urban.org, “Quick Facts About Nonprofits”)? That means that a lot of people care about problems in the world and want to do something about them. The majority of activists create an organization, program, fund, or charity to help support, teach, and raise money for their cause. They also contribute to them regularly by making them better.  What are some examples of organization and funds that activists made? How do they contribute to them? Activists such as Craig and Marc Kielburger, Faye Carey, and Emily-Anne Rigal all created funds and organizations to raise awareness and money for their cause. These activists all actively contribute and are still

Sarbanes-Oxley is not intended, or required for nonprofit companies, audit agencies, and nonprofit trustees are expecting them to be as transparent as for-profit companies that are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.4.McGEEHAN, P. (2003, Jun 17). Most corporate ethics officials are critical of top officers' pay. New York Times, pp. C.8-C.8. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/432425436?accountid=32521Patrick McGeehan examines corporate ethics versus the paychecks that senior executives receive. He discuses how even “executives involved in serious violations of their companies' codes of ethics and compliance are paid severance” (McGeehan, 2003) He explains the effect that actions like this have on the rest of

I was surprised to read that you had thought it was going to be difficult finding information on submitting news releases, my predetermined thought was that it'd be quite easy. However, that turned out to be untrue for the most part. It had taken more almost three hours to complete the assignment compared to the usual one and a half. I definitely agree that as soon as you hit that enter or return key on the search tab, you are instantly bombarded with headlines, videos, articles, etc., but then again I think it is to be expected as many web pages are like this. I do have to disagree with your statement that each website was fairly simple to find contact information. I don't think many people had experienced this, I certainly did not. As you have said, many of the websites are jumbled with massive amounts of information, which makes it difficult to gather useful information. With that in mind, the NY Times and Times Magazine almost goes out of there way to bombard their users with ads, stories, etc. But many sites these days function solely on what they are paid from hosting ads on their website, additionally, it aids in their continued existence. An example of this is Wikipedia.org, every year they have a message on the top of their website asking users to donate so that they can continue to be ad-free and remain running. It is a non-profit website that runs on donations. Although, this

I have partaken in a wide range of civic engagement opportunities focused on health improvement. Through assisting health-focused non-profit organizations, such as the Hope for Haiti foundation and local groups such as the Urban Ministries of Wake County, I have viewed the impact of effective non-profit research. As non-profit organizations tackle access to care, high medical costs, and negative perceptions of health, greater numbers of high-functioning citizens result. I am passionate about utilizing non-profit research surrounding health as a pathway to equalizing prosperity between minority and non-minority populations.

Many entrepreneurs and business people are understandably confused about what is required for a corporation to be considered non-profit. A nonprofit corporation, or 501(c)(3), is a charitable organization that is recognized by the IRS. Non-profits do not pay income tax on its earnings or donations. Whenever people donate to a non-profit, they can reduce their taxable income through itemized deductions.

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.

This report explores the issue of the pay that top executives make, and the reasons why they do. It also suggests improvements that can be made to make the system better. High Pay Seems Small When Compared To Company Profits Many companies pull in profits that are extremely high. When an employee of such a companies salary is compared to the amount of profit that the company earns, it starts to seem reasonable. It only makes sense that if the employee is directly responsible for the success of their company, then they deserve to get their payback. It seems ironic, but many salaries even look small once compared with a companies profits. Top Executives Are Under A Lot Of Pressure Being the CEO of a

Disadvantages for non-profit hospitals is they are not owned by anyone; meaning that some non-profit hospitals may not be able to afford all of the latest technology or sometimes offering the cost-effective services when operating in lower-income areas. Non-Profit hospitals have “higher operating costs because of a high amount of uncompensated care and the charitable component of their operations” (Kovner & Knickman, 2008).

In 2003 the average pay for CEOs at 200 of the largest U.S. companies was $11.3 million--but there are a good number whose compensation packages approach the $100 million mark. Faced with these figures, Americans from all walks of life--who revile CEOs as greedy fat cats--are overcome with bewilderment and indignation. Astonished to learn that what an average worker earns in a year, some CEOs earn in less than a week--people ask themselves: "How can the work of a

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