Introduction: I chose to do a case analysis on the nonprofit organization, Wounded Warrior Project. My wife and I once were big donation supporters of the Wounded Warrior Project since I am a combat veteran and many of my peers who were severally injured rely on nonprofit organizations like Wounded Warriors. Unfortunately, in March of 2016 reports came out that the Wounded Warrior Project had been misrepresenting how the nonprofit’s funds and the donations were being spent. Even though the Wounded Warrior Project has made bold adjustments to the nonprofit organization, many supporters felt heartbroken from the deception and misuse of our donations.
A brief overview of the Future of Donor Choice at the United Way would be that the United Way is one of the largest, oldest charitable health and human services organization in the United States. (Oster272) This organization is in Southern Connecticut and is one of 2,200 local United Way located in communities throughout the United States. (Oster272) Each of these organizations is autonomous and when making decisions it is based on the local level. (Oster272) Their basic functions are doing fundraising and fund distribution, which both are conducted within the local
Often times fundraising starts out strong in the fall, but then declines in the spring. To prevent this, I hope to revitalize fundraising in the spring by having incentives for donating. For example, if you raise $50, you can receive a hand written letter from your state’s Governor. These incentives will spark fundraising in the spring. Through new fundraising efforts, I know that we can surpass previous fundraising records and have the most successful year
The financial analysis will help to give recommendations regarding the current financial condition of CanGo. The best way to measure the performance of a company such as Cango is by performing a financial analysis. By looking at CanGo’s current financial state it will help to better the company and ensure the future success of CanGo. Currently CanGo is doing fairly good financially in that they have managed to keep their current ratio at a reasonable number of 5.39%. With that number as it stands, if CanGo had to they could be capable of paying off their debts and would be able to continue to do business.
As you know, a strong community is built upon its caring residents who reach out in times of need – who work together – who choose to LIVE UNITED. You and your employees have reached out to those in need through your past gift of $200.00 to the United Way of the Greater Dayton Area Ernst Fluid Power’s campaign.

And because of those continued needs, United Way is committed to seeking collaborative solutions with the for-profit and non-profit community in order to continue our mission of making significant strides
This organizational analysis provides an overview of the Dress for Success San Antonio (DFS San Antonio) nonprofit organization. I will highlight some strengths and challenges, and describe ways that DFS San Antonio can overcome those challenges to further its growth and development. DFS San Antonio is facing two major managerial and operational challenges: (a) lack of sufficient and diverse fundraising income; and (b) inadequate engagement in fundraising activities from the board of directors. These two challenges exist primarily because DFS San Antonio does not have a dedicated development department; and because the board of directors is not as actively engaged in fundraising as they should be.
That is because they include some promotional items, direct response advertising, and shipping and postage costs. Take that out, and the figures look more like what charity watchdogs say -- that only 54 to 60 percent of donations go to help wounded service members” (Reid and Janisch). “Steven Nardizzi has been CEO since 2009. In 2014 he was paid nearly half a million dollars, which is in line with similar-sized charities.
(85 Hope Inc in Wabash, Indiana (IN), 2016) . The difference of financial information between the two non-profit organizations, Economic Development Group of Wabash County and 85 Hope is transparency. The EDC has nothing to hide, very informative and leading to a survival rate. The 85 Hope, however does not reveal transparency or its financial stand. The two organizations are providing a service to our community, in order to for the community to continue to support them, they need the information provided “where is the money
Think Water. Food. Education. Other charities have these words to rely on for immediate associations. People can envision right where their money is going.
There's several organizations with different objectives, however their main focus is to bring awareness and assist the help. Giving USA states “Giving by individuals grows nearly four percent, driving the rise in total giving…”. Still continuing around the same rate donation reached an estimate of two hundred and sixty billion dollars in twenty-sixteen. It’s clear to say that donations are always coming in from donors. The following will present information of two charitable organizations ‘The Salvation Army’ and ‘Cloud 9’.
No longer satisfied to depend on limited perceptions of aid, or to view businesses as their adversaries, nonprofits have finally discovered methods to work within the economy and support companies to do good deeds as they prosper. Until recently, nonprofits had been paradoxically viewed within our economic sectors of society. Traditionally, these organizations are expected to make an extraordinary impact on their social purpose yet, they are frowned upon when they choose to amplify their shoestring budget to fulfill this charge. It is a “double bottom line,” this requirement for nonprofits to balance between monetary return and social impact (Worth, 2013, p.7). Nonprofits can effectively utilize the strategies discussed by “Making Markets Work” to bring awareness and financial stability to its social purpose.
Any time a scandal of this magnitude is exposed; donors tighten their grip on contributions, making it difficult for the thousands of honest and hard-working nonprofit charities to secure resources for their organizations. 2-c. Wounded Warrior Project –This recent scandal will halt donations from many supporters of the WWP organization, causing more suffering to our wounded and disabled veterans. Though many projects will continue, several issues will stall important operations within the charity. With limited sources of assistance, our veterans depend on volunteers, donations and funding from outside the US Federal Government. 3-c.
This supports that the Red Cross is corrupt and even though they don’t know where some of their money goes they put no effort into finding
The organization I chose to analyze is the American Red Cross. This organization is targeted towards whoever is willing to donate blood or funds, and those in need of help. The American Red Cross’s mission statement is “to help prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.” The writer of this website intended to pull at the emotions of people and persuade them into donating by informing the audience of problems going on around us. The author was very effective in his/her plan for the website’s goals, and their success shows through the amount of blood, donations, and time given by people all over every community.
Large corporations are a big part of the economic industry. There is a lot of controversy regarding whether corporations should strive to improve their profit margins or help the disadvantage. Big companies should donate to charity and help out the community because it does not only make the corporation look good as a whole but benefits can come out of it as well. Most believe that corporations have one job only and that is to aim for the largest profit margins. Many companies like Apple, Lowe's Home Improvement, and COSTCO covet money and consider non profit organizations negligible (Ni).
