Before attending Spelman and joining Lady Buds, a mentoring program for young underprivileged girls, I understood to a degree, how social change impacts people and their communities.

    Moreover, Berry and Arons argue this ostracization of nonprofit lobbying dramatically reduces the representation in the policymaking process for those who nonprofits represent, such as the disabled, immigrants and the unemployed. The authors suggested that nonprofits, because of this tax law, have little room for political influence. In conjunction with this conclusion Steuerle and Virginia A. Hodgkinson in Nonprofits & Government: Collaboration & Conflict, compare nonprofit and government resources for various social needs. The authors conclude that both the government and nonprofits have limited resources for never-ending demands. This conclusion implies that the lack of resources causes a lack of interconnection and cooperation…

    It includes working with nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations and other government entities. As a mayor, I want to make sure that my city is growing and doing things right to help the community and so collaboration with all the different organizations needs to be effective. One way that I would plan and/or oversee collaboration is by fostering a creative atmosphere that will build cohesion and get to understand the strengths and weaknesses of all their organizations. “Rather than focusing on operationalizing tacit knowledge, greater emphasis needs to be placed on new ways of talking, fresh forms of interacting, and novel ways of distinguishing and connecting”(Agranoff, pg.127). When working with each of the types of organizations, if I can make it a fun and interacting way to help collaborate that works for the city is something that I hope to do.…

Frumkins text is a classic case of assumptions about nonprofits. It gives the most obvious types and styles of nonprofits. Frumkin in the conclusion of his book states that nonprofits are heading towards self-destruct. The sheer number and variety of nonprofits have made it where they all vie with each other and society can’t keep up, but the number of concerned citizens, not only in the United States, but also in a growing number of countries around the world contradicts that theory.…
