For this discussion, research a nonprofit of your choice that assists underserved communities. Start with the company’s website; you may even be able to access their Form 990 from the IRS. Research where the organization gets its funding, how much, and how it is used. Then research the impact of the organization on people and/or the community.
In your initial post, answer the following:
- Provide a rationale outlining how the monetary value of the organization isn’t necessarily the value of the organization overall. Your rationale should be strong enough to be presented in a case to acquire funding.
- Assume your chosen organization would like to make a case for additional funding or to continue funding. Propose a plan on how to acquire this funding. What type of evidence should be documented to acquire the funding?
In your responses to two peers, be sure to address the following:
- Do you agree with your peer’s rationale about the value of the organization? Why, or why not?
- What additional points can you offer to support your peer’s case to acquire or continue funding?
