If I was a well-paid adult with a great job, and roughly $100 million in assets, I would definitely be thinking about making a philanthropic donation. This kind of money is way more than I could ever need, therefore, I would look for organizations that are worthy of my support. A priority of mine would be to look for organizations that have a mission that aligns with my passions and interests. A major interest of mine is sport; therefore, I would look for organizations that are using sport to change the world. Another priority of mine would be the impact of my gift. If I am going to give an organization a sizable gift, I do not want to see that they are only focused on helping a small percentage of individuals. An organization that is …show more content…
A core belief of mine is that sport can change the world. There are many ways in which sport can change the world, however, I am particularly interested in how sport can enhance an individual’s future financial standing. For example, sport can increase brain activity and educational attainment, therefore increasing their lifetime earnings (Brewer, 2017). Therefore, if the organization has a mission aligned with my interests, and has a realistic plan in place to increase the financial standing of thousands of individuals, then I will likely support them. As a very private and introverted person, I would not want the organization contacting me a whole lot. Yes, I would like to meet with them to discuss my interest and its alignment with their organization, but I would not be interested in meetings just for the sake of building our relationship. While meetings would not successfully cultivate my relationship with the organization, a tour of the facility would. Allowing me to see their work in person, would be very meaningful and emotional for me, therefore enhancing my view of the organization. When it comes to the solicitation aspect, I would like to know that it is coming, and therefore, not be surprised. To best inform me of this, a simple phone call discussing the purpose of the next meeting would be great. Also, I would like to receive information on the proposal ahead of time,
Since athletes are people with social influence, they are able to mobilize citizens towards social activities that can be beneficial to the society (Smith, 2013). In addition, they can come up with a project that is aimed at benefiting the less fortunate in the society. It can bring about a social change as well as economic development to those who they give a service to. Athletes have to stand up for the people whose voice has been silenced and whose living are being banished by the policies and orders of the country. Athletes are the most visible expression of performance and financial success in the United States. They have an influential power that can bring people from different cultures or religious to come up with amazing strategies in the society (Smith, 2013). They can allow the people through their different activities related to the society. They should be confident, honest and supportive. They have to get past to athlete’s association and personal advisers and think about what is best for the people of their nation.
Consider an organization of interest to you. This might be a church, a club, a service

Lastly, the community-building argument states that both internal and external constituents of intercollegiate athletics find a common bond and have a source for institutional pride (Feezell, 2015). In regards to the community-building argument scholars equate community building with the entertainment value of college sports for college community, towns, cities, and regional and national audiences (Svensson, Huml, & Hancock, 2014). The researchers noted that previous literature on the perceptions of community service organizations on the impact of intercollegiate athletics three major benefits emerged: (a) increased organizational capacity, (b) enrichment, and (c) educational opportunities. By getting student athletes to volunteer their services to community organizations it allows the organization’s full time staff members to venture out to more projects. Secondly, it establishes a philanthropic approach to community organizations which will teach the student athletes about the importance of organizational benefits and what it provides to the community. Lastly, educational opportunities involving student athletes teaches the importance of intercollegiate athletics in terms of benefits it gives local communities including
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:
I look forward to hearing from you, and having the opportunity to meet with you to discuss how I can enhance your organization.
When you think of being given money do you think of charity? To be frank, many people that are given large quantities of money don’t usually donate it. People can be impulsive and spend it on things they don’t need and claim to use it for their own “necessities”, but they end up not doing that because of their greed. A problem we are facing today is that our greed tends to be stronger than our own morality. So, what if you were given 50,000 dollars and you were obligated to donate it to two charities? Which would you choose?
I would appreciate an opportunity to talk with you or someone in your organization to see where my skill set would be of the greatest benefit to your program.
As a non-profit corporation which aims to improve social welfare and facilitate international cooperation, the work of the International Sports Promotion Society (ISPS) takes the promotion of sport as central to its mission statement. At the heart of this focus lies a deep-seated belief that sport has the intrinsic power to foster hope, and to inspire those who participate to transform society.
To simply put it, I’m hoping to gain insight on the working of better established programs that have been around for awhile. Personally I find it important to meet people face to face so they can see your passion and you can see theirs. Surrounding yourself with people who are excited to build up their own programs and willing to share their ideas to improve upon your own is something that you can not get through a simple email. All in all, my time at CASE ASAP would be used to network and collect ideas from a variety of places to improve upon our own
It is not a matter of who is responsible, but rather who is willing. Growing up in the church, I have learned that the size of the donation does not matter; it is the heart that gives. The article states that “effective altruism is not a plot to guilt the rich into asceticism,” an extreme rejection of worldly things, but rather maximize altruist efforts. Effective altruism does not designate any group responsible, but rather creates a mindset to inspire all economic classes to maximize their good. For example, the “1 percent rule” encourages the middle class - individuals whose income is greater than $52,000 a year - to donate 1% of their income to double the happiness of someone who makes equivalent to that 1%. Effective altruism also encourages
In those meetings, Shamena has shared with me her thoughts related to the workforce environment, oriented and reviewed both my resume and LinkedIn account and helped me to boost my networking. So, considering my major experience is related to the Business Management Consultant role, Shamena introduced myself by email to Isanne from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and I will meet her personally on March 18th, 2017 to better present myself and discuss my professional life and
To be honest, the thought of using my money towards charity instead of on myself never really crossed my mind when I’m making a purchase. Admitting that may make me sound like a terrible character, but at least I’m honest, and I’m pretty sure that applies to most people. Growing up, I was rather impoverished, in fact I would be on the receiving end to charities. I recall receiving food stamps, non-perishables and clothes from food/clothes drives. However, a lot has changed since then and I’m no longer in that position. Now that my financial position is sufficient enough that I can treat myself without much worry, I really value that and choose to spend my money on myself or loved ones. In other words, I rationalize my choice of spending money on myself rather than on charity because I couldn’t spend money on myself for the majority of my life. In addition, I’m not rich enough to spend a considerable amount on charity and not have it negatively affect me. Although money can really change one’s life, it’s not the only way to make a difference. I believe you don’t always have to donate money to make a difference as to some that may be too much, you can always donate unwanted clothes and
On the off chance that you are slanted towards doing philanthropy, specify that also in your rundown.
Securing major gifts is important to almost every organization (Hodge, n.d., p.1). These gifts assist organizations in ensuring the success of both annual and capital campaigns (Hodge, n.d., p.1). They not only account for most of the donation to a campaign, but they can also serve as a lead gift, which gets other people interested in donating to the cause. Without major gifts, organizations would be doomed, therefore organizations need to ensure that they have the staff, resources, and training in place to allow for successful solicitations.
