According to Kate Santich, 2011,“In 2010, there were 48.8 million Americans--or almost one in six--that confronted hunger or food insecurity, meaning people who are able to stave off hunger only by turning to charity or buying cheap, nutritionally void food that would fill their stomachs”

President Bush has long insisted that faith-based organizations and charities do a better job of helping the needy than government-provided services. “Governments can hand out money,” he told the first White House Conference on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in 2004, “but governments cannot put love in a person's heart, or a sense of purpose in a person's life.”

But aid alone is not enough. Ultimately, development depends on two things: governance and growth. By governance, I mean governments having the capacity to deliver for their citizens, to improve health and education and tackle poverty.

    Identifying the appropriate questions to direct and guide the researcher is potentially the most important element in the research process. Unfortunately; like many problem sets, the questions regarding the funding of nonprofits are not clear and concise and all aspect should be carefully considered. Nonprofit organizations span from social and recreational clubs to major public charities and human services. Has the Federal government and State financial reductions affected all of the nonprofits equally? If not, how have the cutbacks differed among the different elements and types of nonprofit…

    The current challenges facing United Way were raising money to pay for general operational cost, recruiting and keeping fundraisers, and when celebrities donate large amount discourage others that may not be able to afford to give that much charity. Another challenge United Way was facing was that people who donated wanted to know where or what their money were used for. This opposed a challenge because United Way were not a charity that had one single focus like those that focused their attentions on one disaster, for example, 9/11 or Katrina. Key issues in the general and non-profit charitable giving industry environments that affect United Way’s operations are that trends have taken place where donations have declined over the years. Charities have fallen by 11 percent and represent the worst declined in 20 years.…

    According to World Bank, food prices have risen by 83% in just 3 years and will likely continue to rise. With the rising food cost and the fallen economy it is a no brainer as to why we have 49.1 million people living in food insecure homes. American’s would not be starving if the government lowered the IRT, accepted more funding, denied aid to illegal immigrants, who are not working and started to inform more citizens of the food stamp program.…

    The Legend Of The Big Push Analysis

    Easterly explores just how helpful foreign aid actually is. He first assesses the the legend of the “poverty trap.” Through comparing growth rates between the poorest fifth of countries and the other four fifths, Easterly explains that there is no distinguishable difference in the rates. Perhaps the strong case of evidence against the poverty trap legend is that eleven out of the twenty-eight poorest countries in 1985 were not in the poorest fifth in 1950. This means that instead, countries had declined from above; while those thought to be in the poverty trap have actually emerged ahead. Thus, there cannot be such thing as a poverty trap. Easterly does take into account individual cases such as Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo which experienced zero and negative per capita growth rates respectively. However, those seem to be outlying cases that are present in almost any type of research. Botswana strongly supports Easterly’s argument against the poverty trap. Botswana went from being the fifth poorest country in 1950 to increasing its income thirteen times by…

    Political Rhetorical Analysis

    Mr. Bush and many of his supporters believed that “Charities and faith-based programs should not be forced to change their character or compromise their mission” (Wilhelm and Williams para. 14-15). One such supporter was, The Christian Legal Society’s director of advocacy, Gregory S. Baylor. Mr. Baylor suggested “Unleashing the ‘armies of compassion’ isn’t a mere slogan – it’s exactly what we hope will happen as outdated regulatory roadblocks are removed” (Wilhelm and Williams para. 25). While no one wants to argue against “armies of compassion”, or support turning people away from helping others, simply because they practice a belief system and cannot afford to give this help without government funding, e.g. taxpayers paying the bill, this all does lead to some serious contradictory views from the other side of the…

    Sororities

    Sororities are commonly known as a college social club or organization for women, with particular distinction given to the African American sororities. Brought about at the time in history when traditional roles of women were being challenged, the founders of the first black sororities had to overcome the stereotypical views of sexism as well. They were considered unique, although college wasn’t really an option for African American’s. Within society they were being treated in rejection because they were black. They wanted to have an organization that would be called sisterhood and ties into their community. Nine dedicated women wanted peace, sisterhood and wanted to become leaders amongst their communities so they formed the first African American sorority in 1908 called Alpha Kappa Alpha. With over a quarter of a millions members in the black sororities numbers are increasing over the years. They continue to be a part of their communities and educate youth in their community. When actual Greek letters were formed for sororities and fraternities white letter groups didn’t think black fraternity groups would be capable of understanding the meanings of the letters and Greek study as they did.…

    African Americans Without Foreign Aid

    36% of Africans live on less than a dollar a day. 20% of the population is undernourished. However, people in foreign countries can help the poorer people by donating to trustworthy charities, and giving aid to the poor Africans who need it the most. Critics of aid say that giving aid to Africans creates stereotypes and doesn’t focus on creating a good economy of government. But it is more important to keep people alive than to create a good government and economy. You need able, healthy citizens to create a good workforce for a country, which is extremely difficult in Sub-Saharan Africa without foreign aid. Aid is needed in Africa because many people would die, it helps to get better death rates and accessible healthcare, and giving aid to keep people alive is more important that improving government.…

    Child Hunger In America

    In addition, the states with an increase rate of hunger are often depicted in areas of rural communities with the lowest unemployment rate, higher food costs and the lack of fresh foods and vegetables. Often times since transportation is not accessible, this places a great restriction on families being able to provide nutritious meals for their children. Ultimately, children then consume processed foods rather than healthy foods, which increases their likelihood of obesity. As stated by Feeding America, (2014) “These 8 states have statistically higher food-insecurity rates than the US national average (14.6%): Arkansas (21.2%), Mississippi (21.1%), Texas (18.0%), Tennessee (17.4%), North Carolina (17.3%), Missouri (16.9%), Georgia (16.6%), and Ohio…

    Hunger In America

    Hunger is not caused by a lack of food alone, but also by the continued poverty many people face. According to the Census Bureau in 2014, 14.8 percent of Americans live in poverty. This number was lower, but has increased over the past four years. About every one in every four workers in the United States brings home wages that are below the poverty level. Many of these workers have families. The average weekly cost to feed a family of four is $216. If workers are bringing home wages below or at the poverty level, providing for their family is a huge struggle. 100 million Americans are considered poor or near poor. With so many people who are food insecure, the numbers of hungry and poor Americans are very high.…
