For many organizations and companies, philanthropic engagement has been strictly a business exchange in which corporations give money, and nonprofits give reach. Unfortunately, this does not necessarily mean that this exchange will produce results. While nonprofits have such limited reach as it is , it is important for companies and nonprofit organizations to engage in a more responsive way to successfully alleviate hunger in a certain city or better cloth homeless youth. Another idea to reconsider is the fact that funds do not necessarily translate to domestic or international success. Just because a certain organization or philanthropic body raises a few million dollars in no way means they will reduce hunger in a specific country, city

  • 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.

Organizations provide online training and support to the staff but sometimes is upon the organization to develop the strategy. Similarly, funding and the participation of the board member are key to secure over 50% of their operating budget. Staff training is integral to the work of an effective non-profit organization. Because non-profits usually pay less than the corporate or governmental sectors, they must find other ways to encourage, reward, and value staff (Hauser, Huberman & Alford, 2008).

  • Volunteering The Homeless Community

    As a society, many of us have become highly desensitized to the major issues going on around us. It is an unfortunate reality that millions of Americans go hungry every day, many of those who are considered homeless. With an estimated half a million people living on the streets, in cars, or shelters in the United States alone, it is vital that the community works together to help the less fortunate. Food banks and soup kitchens offer free meals to anyone who may find themselves destitute. Many homeless families rely on these safe havens for basic human nutrition. Due to this epidemic, my community service project consists of volunteering at local homeless shelters to assist in preparing and serving food for them. In addition to spending time

    As many of my fellow classmates and I discussed on our last day, this class has changed our lives in ways we did not expect. The knowledge I personally have gained from our readings taught me about how different cultures approach philanthropy and practice different methods of giving. This information was made more real by the personal experiences that I was able to hear from my classmates and from you. Hearing these stories allowed not only for a better understanding of viewpoints that are different than mine, but also for an understanding of the amount of diversity that exists among gender, race, ethnicity, or cultural groups. I was able to look through the lense of my own values to discover what aspects of philanthropy are most important to me, and how this impacts my treatment of others. All around I learned a great deal about how to be a better philanthropist, friend, and human in society, because I had the privilege of taking this class.

  • Social And Political Issues In Poverty

    In fact, in my own experience, I notice that the government of my country fail to provide adequate needs to homeless people because they saw that an issue of the individual and from charities organizations. Though the work of charities organizations is admirable, having these non- profit organizations take care of social and political issues however can be problematic, since often these charities societies have biases toward people in need which can prevent them from extending their help for all people suffering from social issues. For example, because the organization that my mother work was religiously founded, they only focused their help to homeless children suffering from mental illness and not all people suffering from the same conditions. Thus, like most government assistance, profit organizations can also make a distinction when offering their help to worthy and unworthy individuals. Also, because these organizations are fueled by an American belief on self- achievement, they tend to emphasize the individual role in poverty and see poverty rather as a character and not a social defect. Thus, as a result, charity organizations can advocate for individual relief and change to stop poverty. Finally, charities organizations can also cause major issues in the way that countries assessed and measure poverty. For example, it can give the impression that the individual is at fault for their own living conditions and second, it can cause major devolution of federal and governmental social programs. In other words, the presence of charities and other societies can cause the government to indirectly decrease its political participation in social issues by turning this a responsibility of local communities and entities. This in turn can affect the variation and diversity of social programs in the US, while reflecting the current predominant view
