The Importance Of Non-Profit Management

“The governing board of a non-profit organization holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the organization serves its mission and for the overall welfare of the organization itself.” (Worth, 2017) This week’s reading was about how boards of non-profit organizations or better known as “governing boards”, operate and the types of responsibilities they have. Before taking this class, I thought that boards held the same responsibilities and held the same amount of power. Elected boards, self-perpetuating boards, appointed and hybrid, and advisory boards were discussed in this chapter. I was able to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each board. For example, an advantage of a self-perpetuating board would be the board is able

I will be applying for the Administration/General Management which is a Non-Profit Management. One of the main historical events in this position is that a person would need to go out in the community to recruit and networking with people in the community. 75% of your work assignment will be out in the community building relationships, hanging flyers going to community meetings, reaching out to several companies and going to high school and different colleges.

This essay deals with the unethical prevalence of excessive compensation packages granted to nonprofit hospital executives. Nonprofits are highly complex organizations and are vital to the community’s in which they serves. Therefore, it is essential for these organizations to appoint highly motivated individuals knowledgeable of the healthcare industry and capable of managing and leading a hospital during a national recession while health reform is changing the culture of the US healthcare system.

For two years, I have volunteered at a unique non-profit organization aimed at providing at-risk inner city youth with literacy skills and mentorship. As a mentor at The Writers’ Exchange, I provide individualized learning and structure to several very challenged and impoverished kids. The focus is on homework, literacy projects and field trips designed to incite creativity, communication skills, self-esteem and accomplishment. The facility is located in the poverty-stricken Downtown Vancouver Eastside, cited as the poorest school catchment in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. It is funded by donations and volunteers. Nearly all of the Writers’ Exchange children are from destitute, broken and often abusive homes, where health and socio-economic

Just like I am better able to serve the Head Start families due to my educational background on the inner workings of poverty; learning about the inner workings of non-profits will qualify me as a leader who can effect change on a larger scale within ABCD. I want to attend this program to learn the detailed, complex elements and skills that are necessary to form the big picture that is human services management. New knowledge of management and finance will make me a multifaceted asset to

The last stage of my proposal includes no longer recognizing the NCAA as a purely commercial venture. The NCAA as an amateur, educational organization, does not fit well into the traditional antitrust analysis as applied by the court in NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma. By viewing the NCAA as a profit-oriented economic entity, the court struggled in an effort to make sense out of both the per se and rule of reason tests. Justice White's dissent explained that the majority erred by: first, failing to recognize the NCAA's role in promoting amateur athletic competition as an integral part of the process of higher education; second, treating the NCAA television plan as a ‘purely commercial venture’; and third, applying a traditional

In this week reading, it talks about a non-profit assembling their workforce. Nonprofits have employees who are paid, but they also have a staff of volunteers. Volunteers workers are not paid, but adds to the organization production. So, how do non-profit organizations prepare for recruiting volunteers to work for them?

Until spending time in the nonprofit program at Johnson, I never considered the many different tasks associated with starting a nonprofit. Additionally, through growing up at a long-established nonprofit, I took for granted the work involved in establishing it as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The IRS website provides explanation for the many these required tasks needed to file for tax-exemption status. Filing the articles of incorporation and establishing bylaws remain crucial for an organization to receive recognition as a legal entity. However, establishing a nonprofit involves a great deal more than simply attaining tax-exemption status. Tschirhart and Bielefeld highlight many of these aspects, such as developing the mission and vision statements of the organization (Tschirhart and Bielefeld 49). As the reading from last week discussed, evaluating and acquiring resources for an organization should stem from the mission of an organization. Even more so, in order for that to take place, the organization needs established with a mission that will keep it rooted in its cause and a vision

I choose a career in the Non-Profit Coordination field because of two reasons; the first is I am an effective coordinator of people and resources, and secondly I am civic minded and want to devote my energies to the betterment of human conditions in St. Louis. As a practicing Catholic, who lives by the Golden Rule, and has been an active volunteer for many years with various community based programs, my understanding of the inner workings of nonprofit organizations is extensive. The program will benefit from my ability to motivate team members; in my current position, I have led my team two years in a row in achieving “top 10” in customer service nation-wide. The program is also looking for a person who creates and maintains donor relationships

In a nonprofit organization, managers are concerned with “generating some social impact” (Daft, 2013). Stakeholders for nonprofit organizations include the community, taxpayers, the government, private donors, employees, and volunteers. Each one of these stakeholders poses a challenge for managers. For instance, in a nonprofit organization, there is a “continual struggle to pursue vital social missions in the face of

I am interested in non-profit for the motives of community, personal life experiences, and giving back. I firmly believe non-profit is the only logical structure for businesses to operate from. The reason behind this belief is the fact that when an organization is communal, efficiency is more of a result and resources become less scarce. When organizations are not for profit, the inequality gap slowly but surely closes. I am an advocate for non-profit due to my life experiences; I grew up in a rough, low-income, and diverse neighborhood in the city of Denver, Colorado.

There's three things that I know: 1. I want to travel and help others 2. I want a career that allows me to forget about my income and focus on my impact 3. I want to start or greatly contribute to a non-profit organization. Traveling will always be an extremely important aspect of my life. Ironically, I have never been outside the United States, but I know that experiencing other cultures can greatly affect someone's life. For that reason, I hope to be apart of an organization that provides opportunities for the less fortunate to travel. An organization that could bring kids who lack funds from 3rd World countries to 1st World countries, providing them with work or education. Vice versa, 1st World kids leaving their social media behind to traveling

A non-profit organization cannot be effectively managed if it is not effectively planned. One of the challenges facing non-profit organizations has been long range, strategic planning. Long range, strategic planning in the non-profit sector is essential to the success of an organization. Long range, strategic planning encompasses broad policy and direction setting, internal and external assessments, attention to key stakeholders, the identification of key issues, development of strategies to deal with each issue, decision making, action and the continuous monitoring of results. (Herman, The Jossey-Bass Handbook of Nonprofit Leadership and Management, 154) While it is important to deal with the short term planning and activities of non-profits, managers or directors must consider the future of their organizations. Successful planning should be comprehensive, integrating all areas of responsibility of an organization.

The diversity of nonprofit organizations, services provided and the problems faced shows that nonprofits require leadership with an in-depth understanding of the multifaceted nonprofit landscape. Understanding the culture of nonprofit work is also crucial and much easier to understand once you have been through a nonprofit management program.
