For severals reasons, Nonprofits Boards appear not as strong as a couple of years ago. They become “dusty” and in most of the case have lost their capacity to deal with important matters in a real time.…
My concerns with what is happening at DMBC has to do not just with the proposed CSR program for Mr. Duncan and it’s effects towards the company, but also with the duties of the senior leadership and the current culture amongst them. If he goes through with funding a new CSR program in order to help his daughter Nicole, Mr. Duncan will be doing more than just taking away bonuses from our well deserved employees. He will be changing the core principles and key practices of DMBC.…

BGCA followed the principles of the ethical theory of utilitarianism to not only to put themselves into the situation, but also to pull themselves out of it. The second component of utilitarianism focuses “on the consequences of happiness and unhappiness. While businesses assess costs and benefits in terms of financial gains and losses, utilitarianism focuses instead on how our actions affect human happiness” (Fieser & Mosley, 2012). From this aspect, local clubs got themselves into the problems that they were in by focusing on bettering the community. By following the third component of utilitarianism, BGCA utilized a more natural way for moral assessments and business decisions. They sought out the greatest good for the greatest number of people and identified the problems that existed. In doing this, Boys & Girls Club identified the need for help and assistance. By following this ethical principle on the issue, BGCA did not allow the clubs to fail and kept the best interest of the children and the community in mind. The easy way out would have been to just accept the overall failure of the organization and close the club. The solution to the financial crises in both the Waterloo and Daphne clubs couldn’t have been handled any better. The clubs sought out the…
We expressed this message through an advertisement in the form of a poster. Donation is a money related issue, so we plan to have the poster near trading posts and banks, where people have access to money or food to donate. Since donation is not as interesting of a concern, people could forget about it after hearing through the radio. Posters cause the reader to have to use cognitive skills which makes the information have a greater impact on them.…
Jack Brooks once stated that “Every disaster is an opportunity,” and he was absolutely correct. Brooks’ statement especially holds true to politicians. Politicians are in a constant struggle to gain the support of the citizens, and to be successful they need take advantage of every presented opportunity to get seen and heard by the public. Disasters stimulate fear and excitement in the public, therefore the public pays a lot of attention to them (Popkin, 25). In turn politicians are attentive to disasters, because of their ability to benefit some politicians and/or harm others, as accredited by Steven Merksamer when he said; “My biggest fear always was of not being prepared for a major disaster […] How they are handled can make or break…
The greatest potential benefit of nonprofit groups operating like businesses is operational efficiency and less dependency on public funding. As described in the case study, “Blurring the Line Between Profits and Nonprofits,” when Michael Miller became President of Portland Goodwill in the mid-1980s, he adopted a corporate approach to running the charity that increased total sales tenfold (Johnson, 2007, p. xxiii). By adopting business best practices, this nonprofit group became very successful and was able to reduce its reliance on government funding.…

The Boys & Girls Club has opened my eyes to many opportunities. This is a safe place where parents can drop off their children or child when they have to go to work. Every day after school I go the Boys & Girls and I have so many things I could do. Such as playing sports in the gym, and even swim in the indoor swimming pool. The Boys &Girls club has a teen center where I always have someone to talk to like friends, counselors, even staff members. I have been a member of the Boys & Girls club since the third grade. I used to like coming to the club but now I love it even more.…
