The not for profit sector not only measures the services that are being provided to the community, but also measures the finances. Without the capital or revenue, the not for profit sector will never be able to run as an organization. For a not for profit organization to run successfully, there are different roles that are needed for an organization to run such as fundraising, policies, strategic plan, a communication plan and many more. But each one of these need finances to ensure that the not for profit sector is running successfully. Finances play a significant role to ensure that assets are being protected and to also ensure adequate resources are being provided that will meet the goals, values and missions of the…
Profit comes from the money left over after the expenses are paid (Revenue-Expenses=Profit). On the other hand the goal of non-profit business is not to make profit but simply break even while providing products or services to the community for free. The Brockville Psych is non-profit since they provide both products and services to people for free using money given by the government. The hospitals goal is to cure or treat patients suffering from mental…
Non-profit organizations are major contributors to social and economic well-being throughout the world. The creation of wealth is not the main objective for non-profit organization; rather they need to serve a social purpose, while maintaining financial sustainability (Moss, Short, Payne, & Lumpkin, 2010). The non-profit sector is not immune from the damage caused by destructive leaders. The destructive leaders are those whose actions have catastrophic effects on everything from the morale of the employees to the safety of the workplace. There are drastic changes taking place in employment relationships that have an impact on the way resources are distributed in society (Bidwell, Briscoe, Fernandez-Mateo & Sterling, 2013).…

According to their website the NAACP’s mission is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race. The NAACP is the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the world. The NAACP has a couple of revenue sources 1. Contributions, Gift & Grants 2.…
While most people believe that non-profit are doing great public work, these organizations are often contributing to the increase of elitism and capitalist forms through corporate influence. Non-profit industrial complex (NPIC) is as a “set of symbolic relationships that link political and financial technologies of state and owning class control with surveillance over public political ideology, including and especially emergent progressive and leftist social movement” (Smith 8). This simply means that NPIC offers a space where corporations can control and authorize social justice movements through their financial support. It permits public monies to fall in the control of private corporation through foundations. The nonprofit industrial complex…
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. Depending on your organization you will need three major components to build your nonprofit organization; you will need to raise money and ask for donations for your cause, make sure you are licensed in the state and advertise your organization. Collecting and accepting donations is also a great asset because people do not always have money to give, but…

Page 1 of 2 Mollie GoldmanGSCCommunity Sectors Class AssignmentThe Nonprofit Sector- Charities and FoundationsAccording to our reading in “The Nonprofit Economy”, Weisbrod describes nonprofit organizations as “organizations for charitable or mutual benefit purposes” who are exempt from income tax and receive other benefits as well in exchange for adhering to certain restrictions (Weisbrod 19). Regardless of their name, these nonprofit organizations do generate profit, but the way they utilize their profit is very restricted such as they are only able to put the profit towards specific approved uses like the ASPCA assisting animals and shelters, etc. According to the Independent Sector’s website, the IRS “defines more than 25 categories of organizations that are tax exempt from federal income taxes” and the nonprofit sector makes up…
In my spare time, I volunteer for two nonprofit organizations. My empathy, experiences as a child, and the known struggles of my environment, gave me the passion for acting on issues plaguing my community. Knowing firsthand the economic struggles many faces in the Bronx, in particular, children, a group from different community boards in the Bronx and myself came together and formed the nonprofit organization called Community Boards Athletic Leadership League (CBALL). CBALL was created to keep children off the streets, mold community leaders, expose children to college and job development. Once a month in the Bronx, children ranging from ages 10-18, from all twelve districts in the borough, play basketball, receive a healthy meal, and do workshops…
The identification of nonprofit and for profits can be identified by different classifications. The organizations operate by the same rules and regulations, but differentiate by tax exemptions and the utilization of profit margins. In conducting an analysis on one provider from both for profit and nonprofit, I chose the Community Health Systems and Kaiser Permanente. Both organizations are at the larger end of the spectrum in their respective business classification. Each organizational foundation presents strengths and weaknesses from a patient, provider, administrator and third party payer’s perspective.…
There are three basic questions that can be used to evaluate nonprofits; whom should nonprofits benefit? What kind of acts should they undertake? And how should they operate? These questions never have easy answers and certainly don’t have any one answer. Nonprofits are an area that instead of being a structured entity, they fill the gaps that the structured for profit, and government organizations fail to, or are not equipped to address.…

Non-profit organization’s income mostly comes from donations and sales of their goods and services while for profit organizations get their income from sales of goods or services. It was mentioned that both organizations make profits, but the use of the profits are different. For profit organizations used their profits as they deem fit, either to pay debts, shareholders, suppliers and personal incurred expenses. On the other hand non-profit organizations profits made are put back into the business, donated to other non-profit organization or utilized at the donors’…
