Knowledge and Experience with Nonprofits In 2003, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in social work. Since then I have had experience working for nonprofits. As I started out my career I have worked for nonprofits in the area of mental health, homelessness, and adoption. This has allowed me to gain knowledge of how they operate. I have had experience working with board members, fund raising, and general operations. I have also gained insight to some of the advantages and the…

In the same capacity, the EdFirst Foundation is a victim of circumstances. The organization is concerned with the provision of mentoring and afterschool programs, as well as other resources for the k-12 children from the low-income families in the inner cities. Historically, the foundation is open to all the children from the ten cities where the EdFirst operates.…

Nonprofit Engaging Earned-income Ventures. In a Ted talk speech, the way we think about charity is dead wrong, Dan Pallotta pointed that why people admire people or parties who make a lot of money, even though they did nothing good for our society.

Unless they are independently wealthy, most must finance their campaigns with contributions from individuals and from businesses and other organizations (legal).” In 1974, most of these campaigns were funded by individual corporations or small groups of wealthy donors. In 1972, insurance executive W. Clement Stone contributed approximately $2.8 million…

The readings for this week consisted of reading chapters one through five of Morgan Giddings “4 Steps to Funding; Avoid Rejection and Get Your Grant Funded on the Next Try With This Simple Four Step Formula”. As the title states, Giddings’s work is about how to write grants in a way that will ensure the grant writer obtains funding. Giddings’s writing reads like an infomercial, and while it may seem silly at first, it makes valid points on how to write a grant. Giddings addresses the need for…
