Recommended: The importance of nonprofit organizations

In my opinion, I believe that this article relates to both the ideology and the political filters. In terms of ideology, the I.R.S. should be fair and take the correct action with all groups who apply for the tax-exempt status. In addition to ideology, this article can relate with the political filter because the I.R.S. is showing biases when rejecting certain organizations because it would not be in their best interest to give them the exemption. Although the article had numerous facts throughout, I wanted to share these next three. First, I learned that for an organization to be considered a nonprofit they must be “primarily engaged in the promotion of social welfare”. Another fact from this article is Lois Lerner, a director in the I.R.S.,

    Being identified as a nonprofit, doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a charitable organization. Though the term has been applied to most nonprofit organizations, the fact is most nonprofits is structured using the economic model. The economic model is based on the traditional model of management designed to deal with the complexity of managing an organization (Bradshaw & Hayday, 2007, p. 4). This model acquires funding from multiple sources such as; individuals, government grants, corporations, and foundations. Though an nonprofit organizations may be identified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as tax-exempt, it may use the same economic model and framework as a for-profit organization. According to Brainard & Siplon, (2004), the nonprofit economic model often mimics that of the private sector by using organized professionals to help determine the goals and vision of the organization (p. 439). It is widely believed that most nonprofits use the economic model along with an aggressive...

  • Propaganda In A Democratic Society Analysis

    205 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article, “Propaganda in a Democratic Society” by Aldous Huxley he mentions multiple reasons why we need propaganda to flourish as a country, and why it helps. He envisioned the future of propaganda, and knew how to influence emotions among the community in order to promote things we don’t necessarily need. Huxley knew the importance propaganda would be in the future lives of politicians, media, and business. People need to feel an emotional connection with an idea or thing to be in agreement with it. I feel like the propaganda is important in our society because of how it is used. Propaganda is brilliant in its own way; it opens doors from sellers to consumers, which increases the richness of our economy. Huxley mentions, “As it is

  • The History of Nonprofit Organizations in America

    1378 Words  | 3 Pages

    The nonprofit sector in America is a reflection some of the foundational values that brought our nation into existence. Fundamentals, such as the idea that people can govern themselves and the belief that people should have the opportunity to make a difference by joining a like-minded group, have made America and its nonprofit sector what it is today. The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values. The future of the nonprofit sector will continue to be experimental in many ways. However, the increase of professional studies in nonprofit management and the greater expectation of its role in society is causing executives to look to more scientific methods of management.

    983 Words  | 2 Pages

    Millions of citizens around the United States, at some point in their lifetime, obtain a political ideology. Typically, their political values are influenced by their parents. Political scientists have identified that around age eleven, children begin to develop political opinion. According to Wilson’s, American Government: Institutions and Policies, 91% of a high school senior class indentified with the same party as their parents (American Government 158). I can attest to this since I in fact have the same party association as my parents. Ever since I was young, I categorized myself as a Democrat due to the fact that my elders were. However, as I have matured I am able to recognize the beliefs and ideologies that followers of certain parties possess. Since I have been more exposed to the political arena I am able analyze the issues more critically and hence I continuously question whether I should classify myself as a Democrat or Republican.

  • Political Analysis

    1494 Words  | 3 Pages

    Political Analysis Political analysis is the method by which the judgement upon any political event, in any part of the world, is performed. It is based on the perception of the political reality of the region or the country in question and the perception of the relationship of this political reality with international politics. In order to perceive the international situation and international politics, it is imperative to have general outlines that explain the political reality of every state and the relationships of these states with the other states of the world, especially the major powers that influence the progress of events in the world. Since the Islamic Ummah is commanded to carry the Islamic Da'wah to all people, it is therefore obligatory upon the Muslims to be in touch with the world with awareness of its conditions and perception of its problems. The Muslims must acquaint themselves with what motivates the states and the peoples and pursue the political actions that occur in the world.

  • The Role Of Ethics In Nonprofit And Non-Profit Organizations

    1352 Words  | 3 Pages

    Over the last 20 years, there has been a significant increase in nonprofit and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) in the United States. With the increase in organizations, also came an increase in scandals and in the 1990’s multiple nonprofit and nongovernment organizations lost the public’s trust due to misuse of funds, lavish spending, and improper advances to protected populations. These charity scandals not only hurt direct organization’s reputation, but also led to the mistrust of nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations as a whole (Sidel, 2005). To combat these reputations, NGOs and nonprofit organizations began to self-regulate through employing morally obligated and altruistic employees, accountability practices, and lastly through

    While Burnham and the PNC were experimenting with its foreign relations, the PPP had moved even further 'left' with its formal induction into the Communist International in July 1969. These developments were partially the result of that party’s increasingly pro Soviet stance, sealed and formalized with its public entry into the Soviet International in 1969. This was after Dr. Jagan returned from a Conference of Communist and Workers Parties in Moscow in the same year. Thereafter, the PPP became a disciplined adherent of doctrinaire Marxism and the long-standing Marxist-Leninist organisation became even more prominent on committees of the Communist International ranging from the World Peace Council to the World Federation of Free Trade Unions (WFTU) and acquired easy access to senior personnel in the Kremlin.

  • Key Differences Between Nonprofit Organizations And For-Profit Organizations

    There are a few contrasts between for profit and nonprofit organizations. While the point of revenue driven associations is to augment benefits, and forward these benefits to the organization's proprietors and investors, not-for-profit associations mean to give society's needs. As indicated by Weikart, Chen, and Sermier (2013) nonprofits organization have no proprietors (pg. 1). Rather than augmenting benefits, which implies expanding incomes while limiting costs, they are more worried about guaranteeing the income is more noteworthy than costs. This guarantees the philanthropic can even now give society's needs. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) (2017)

  • Charitable Nonprofits Problem

    496 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my initial essay, I described nonprofits (specifically charitable nonprofits) as having the ultimate purpose of solving problems, although most are unsuccessful in this task. This was a misguided attempt on my part to pin down an entire sector that I had never thought about in the abstract before. I do believe that there are many nonprofits that are actively working toward solving society’s problems, but there are also nonprofits that are only trying to mitigate problems such as a soup kitchen, try to educate such as a nonprofit school, and try to improve the quality of life such as a symphony. The sector is incredibly vast, making it difficult to describe it as a whole.

  • Tax Exempt Organizations

    2044 Words  | 5 Pages

    Nevertheless, tax-exempt status does mean that an organization does not have to pay corporate federal income tax on income. Furthermore, this income must be from activities that are substantially related to the purpose for which the organization was given exempt status. In addition, the organization does pay tax on income that is unrelated to the purpose of the organization called unrelated business income. There are several reasons Congress decided to tax unrelated business income. First, Congress did not think it would be fair for businesses that pay tax Secondly, instead of Congress prohibiting tax-exempt organizations from having any type of business functions, Congress chose to permit unrelated business activities, but the income would be taxed just like for profit business. Lastly, the imposition of a tax on unrelated business income was the best evidence that tax-exempt organizations can engage in business
