Cmn279 - Final Report
DATE: April 10, 2012
TO: John Smith, Vice President
FROM: Tom Chung, Committee Chairperson
SUBJECT: FINDING THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE CHARITY IN THE GTA
At your request, the other members of the Ryerson Business Students Association committee and I, have researched and acquired information on three different charities around the area of the university to best identity which charity would be the most deserving of a donation. We have done this by collecting information from each organization and comparing them to see which charity best meets the set of criteria we have chosen.
This report is comprised of the set of criteria we have used to compare each organization, the three alternatives we have chosen, a diagram and a recommendation based on our analysis.
Significance of the Problem: Choosing the Charity that will Receive the RBSA’s Donation
As the Ryerson Business Students Association annually donates its proceeds to the United Way Campaign, year after year, we understand the need to break out of the mold, so to speak, and donate to another worthy charity. Since the RBSA has made $25,000 in proceeds it is a good idea to choose another well deserving organization to donate to. In the following report, we have chosen three of the most appealing charities in and around our area and will be comparing them with each of our criteria to determine which organization is most deserving of the RBSA’s donation.
Criteria Used in Determining Most Effective Charity
The criteria for determining the most effective charity are; 1) Who the donated proceeds will be going towards. 2) The richness of the organization’s not-for-profit programs. 3) The overall effectiveness of the organization’s programs/ span of influence in their respective areas. 4) How active the organization is in raising funds for their charity. 5) The diversity of the organization (among staff, services offered or programs).
Alternative 1: Canadian Youth Business Foundation
