I have worked for many years for a non-profit organization and have have the privilege of being able to compare a nonprofit environment to that of a for profit company. In my experience, I have seen what goes in to acquiring donations from individuals and what their reaction's are to the amounts that may be asked of them. For example, people see my agency as a community based agency that helps people in all aspects of their lives: economically, socially, environmentally and even in the health field. As an agency we offer programs that provide mental health services, youth programs, group homes for the mentally impaired, resources to help with rental deposits, food banks, diaper banks and many other services that help the people in the community.…
Historically, not-for-profit (NFP) hospitals evolved from either religious groups or philanthropic foundations and provided health care to individuals that could not afford to pay the doctor to come to their home (Cutler, 2000), hence, they provided a service to the community that the community would otherwise be required to provide. These organizations generated little income and as such were granted tax exempt status (Cutler, 2000). Modernization of healthcare has transformed hospitals from places for the poor to seek care to places for society to receive care and as such the historical support for the tax exempt status has grown less relevant and in actuality, it can difficult in today’s healthcare environment to easily distinguish between for-profit (FP) and not-for-profit (NFP) organizations and the care and services they provide.…

After her delivery, the couple dissolved the marriage. The bills go to the mother who does not have health insurance and or income.…
Being an owner of my own nonprofit organization; I know the importance of working hard for demands maintaining an organization. It is not easy and in fact it is hard but if you believe in your craft it is doable. There is a lot in going to a nonprofit organization, the key word is “nonprofit”; so you would have to go above your jurisdiction of work and raise money for you cause on your own.

After reading the assigned article for this weeks discussion, I feel confident in my perspective of what the benefit-corporation law entails. The simplest explanation about this law is that it advocates for considering more than just capitalizing when making critical decisions that pertain to a business. One of my favorite characteristics about this law is that it allows room for considering social needs that can directly factor into building on the welfare of society, whether its environmentally or even simply lending a helping hand. What’s really the surprising factor in regards to this law is that it doesn’t fall into the category of being a non-profit nor tax-exempt, which is another factor that builds on the principals surrounding the…
