Non-Profit Organizations: Self-Financing

2020 Words9 Pages

Background
For the realization of organizational goals by NGOs as non-profit organizations, the respective NGOs need to adopt self-sustaining measures and systems. Non-profit organizations generally depend on charitable institutions, donor agencies, and multilateral lenders for the funding of their programs as well as the associated administration costs. However, in the recent past, non-profit organizations across the globe have witnessed a decline in grants and donations from international and local donors. This is compounded by the dynamic global economic circumstances as well as diverse political influences that have had a negative impact on the grants available for non-profit organizations. In consideration of this, it has become important …show more content…

Self-financing has become an instrumental source of funding for non-profit organizations due to increasing limitations of grant-making. In self-financing, the organization is involved in the sale of a service or a product or is in partnership with other corporations to secure employment for their clients. This plays an important role in generating extra revenue essential in financing the organization’s projects. This approach towards financing is associated with numerous benefits that include diversified revenue base, augmented income, enhanced funding flexibility, better management and high efficiency, better organizational planning, enhanced financial discipline and oversight, enhanced organizational visibility, increased self-confidence, strong board of directors, and an appealing impression on donors (Atkinson & Messing, …show more content…

The number of projects and their size is an effective indicator of the financial stability of a non-profit organization. In this, an increase in the number of projects that the organization is funding in comparison with the number of projects funded over the previous years is a clear indication on the financial stability and financial sustainability of the organization. This must be taken into account in consideration of the total size of the projects being undertaken. The total size of the projects refers to total amounts money allocated to the projects (Ortiz,

But the conclusion where the money is heading is similar to what happens in the real world; lots of these donations are spent on useless unimaginative building projects.

The organizations would use most of the money to go to their own funding and other projects, and those dollars that did go to the correct cause were slow to arrive. “…despite the pledges, donor dollars have been slow to actually materialize…and many donor countries have yet to give anything at all.” So if the money isn’t going to the promised cause, then where is it going?

The reason I chose these methods is because most people want all the information that can be gathered before committing themselves to making a donation. In this manner, the historical and future information would be provided in writing as well as giving the prospective constituents a manner of being able to socialize with other donors and people who have use of the facilities. I wasn’t able to find anything stating exactly what type of strategies are being used to maintain their current funders or to entice new constituents to give to their organization. As I sought out information, I was only able to locate via their website a link that led to supporters and the different manners in which a person could make a donation such as, their annual fund, corporate sponsorship, in-kind donations, foundation support, legacy

The Council of Accreditation is mentioned in this chapter because it standards are rooted in the values of the social work profession (Furman & Gibelman, 2013). Accreditation has several purposes; however, it forces an organization to continue to review their program (Furman & Gibelman, 2013). Once an organization is accredited, it must continue to prove to the community that is meets standards of operations (Furman & Gibelman, 2013). The chapter goes on to discuss Standards for Charitable Solicitations, which is the group responsible for setting standards for charitable nonprofit organizations (Furman & Gibelman, 2013). The IRS is also important to nonprofit organizations, as they authorize tax-exemptions for organizations (Furman & Gibelman, 2013).

To begin with, the economic model has a management style that mirrors that of market-driven businesses, aligning goals and objectives with business principles such as supply and demand (Brainard & Siplon, 2004). On the other hand, the voluntary spirit model relies on a management style that is intentionally different from product and services businesses (2004). In other words, the voluntary spirit model insists that nonprofit missions are not business-like, but instead, are centered on solving problems and nurturing relationships (2004). Next, the organizational structure for the economic model has a relatively strict hierarchy where decisions are driven from the leadership, but the voluntary spirit model’s structure relies on collaboration among members to collectively determine goals and objectives (2004). Lastly, since the economic model is business-like, the incentives for staff appeal to self-serving needs, which means the incentives are often materialistic or monetary (2004).

Non-profit sector is very different from both the public and private sectors. It is a tax-exempt organization or social sector which is mainly formed for the purpose of education, religious, art, animal right or charitable (Hatten, 1997). Popular examples for the non-profit organization are World Wildlife Fund, Do Something, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Green Peace and Malaysia Red Crescent Society. The ownership of the non-profit organizations does not belong to anyone, even the founder of organization, which is very different from other form of business.

The idea of giving foreign aid to those in need may seem noble at glance. Yet, if we look deeper into the issue and observe the outcome, what we discover may not exactly be a positive impact on the recipient countries. An efficient aid-giving program requires more than just good intentions. It would be hard to argue that foreign aid has not done any good, when there are also plenty of cases where foreign aid has been used efficiently. However, as that is rather an exception than a rule, in this essay I will look at the cons of foreign aid claiming that it is actually not fulfilling it’s purpose.

The foreign aid program is created to bring an end to poverty, conflicts and other difficulties that poor-developed countries are enabled to solve it. Everything is not about money, but it is about power, political view or group society. In many well-developed countries, corruption and political control are being reviewed by the UN and other governance, because they could be penalized or have sanctions. In a less-developed country that are already being helped with foreign aid, the governance and other aid programs must have their hands tied when it comes to penalized or sanctioned, because they are already in need, therefore corruption is created in those less-developed countries and hunger follows. There is the end of hungriness that is currently trying to be solved in the world, but there are still conflicts with political control that keeps the foreign aid to cause hunger in
