    WK3_Preparing to Conduct Business Research - Part 1

    Addressing the funding of nonprofits in today’s environment requires creativity. Government funding cuts play a major role in a non-profits currently surviving on a safety net established with the Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Senior Homes). Nonprofits also often receive state funds; with the recent economic downturn the groups receiving state support are receiving less funding and the money sent is often in the rears. As state and federal budget cuts loom, resources for nonprofits must rely on the private sector for funding and support. From 1999 to 2009 there was a 31% increase in nonprofit organizations according to the latest data (Charitable Statistics). With this increase in nonprofit organizations, there is a more competitive market for the allotted monies from both public and private resources which cause straining in the market. Organizations must think outside the box to pursue fundraising and awareness to their cause and campaign to differentiate themselves from those with similar missions in such a competitive market. Streamlining data and administrative processes are underway with many nonprofits. Not possessing the funding to develop a digital presence can also cause funding to move slowly since online marketing is a way to raise awareness and attention to potential funding sources.…

    Hcs 577 Comparative Summary

    While doing my research I have come across how ACS has used the fund that has been donated throughout the year to do research. “In the nonprofit world, financial efficiency ratios because of their simplicity, ease of calculation and presentation, and apparent comparability between nonprofits have been the default metric. However, many nonprofit experts and watchdog groups have come to realize that simple formula comparisons do not reflect the complexity of the sector and, while useful, do not provide a meaningful analysis of overall effectiveness” (American Cancer Society Stewardship…

    March Of Dimmes

    Not-for-profit organization’s primary goal “is not to increase shareholder value; rather it is to provide some socially desirable need on an ongoing basis. It generally lacks the financial flexibility of a commercial enterprise because it depends on resource providers that are not engaging in an exchange transaction. The resources provided are directed towards providing goods or services to a client other than the actual resource provider. Thus the not-for-profit must demonstrate its stewardship of donated resources —money donated…

To understand how the political climate and public health play a future role in the fruition of the nonprofit industry in Amsterdam, we must first look at the major components that make up such a diverse and philanthropic society.

    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.…

    Stakeholders Of Homelessness

    All non-profit organizations in the U.S. are required by law to file IRS Forms 990 annually. These forms give great insight into the organizations by detailing the reported revenues, the programs they run, and the total expenses they incurred during the year. I examined the IRS Forms 990 for the Springfield Rescue Mission, Inc., a faith-based organization, and for Friends of the Homeless, Inc., a community-based organization. Both organizations offer emergency shelter services and rehabilitation programs for the homeless among other services.…

    Csr of Strategic Relevance in Today's World

    eople create organizations to leverage their collective resources in pursuit of common goals. As organizations pursue these goals, they interact with others inside a larger context called society. Based on their purpose, organizations can be classified as for-profits, governments, or nonprofits. At a minimum, for-profits seek gain for their owners; governments exist to define the rules and structures of society within which all organizations must operate; and nonprofits (sometimes called NGOs—nongovernmental organizations) emerge to do social good when the political will or the profit motive is insufficient to address society’s needs. Aggregated across society, each of these different organizations represents a powerful mobilization of resources. In the United States, for example, more than 595,000 social workers are employed largely outside the public sector—many in the nonprofit community and medical organizations—filling needs not met by either government or the private sector.1 Society exists, therefore, as a mix of these different organizational forms. Each performs different roles, but each also depends on the others to provide the complete patchwork of exchange interactions (products and services, financial and social capital, etc.) that constitute a well-functioning society. Whether called corporations, companies, businesses, proprietorships, or firms, for example, for-profit organizations also interact with government, trade unions, suppliers, NGOs, and other groups in the communities in which they operate, in both positive and negative ways. Each of these groups or actors, therefore, can claim to have a stake in the operations of the firm. Some benefit more, some are involved more directly, and others can be harmed by the firm’s actions, but all are connected in some way to what the firm does on a day-to-day basis. R. Edward Freeman defined these actors or groups as a firm’s stakeholders. His definition reflects the broad reach…
