...to me. However, it might be more cost efficient. Holding a fundraiser at a physical location seems that it would be more successful. The advertising and promotion of a fundraiser are just as important. Getting the most exposure to the public will help with the success of my fundraiser. I will need to research to find out if advertising and promoting this book fundraiser is more or less expensive than with actual physical advertising. I am leaning more to the physical advertising because I think it will bring more success to my book fundraiser. Using the Internet to research these options will be my first plan of research. In an article on nonprofit organizations, it was noted that there has been an abundance, even an-overabundance, of health –based nonprofits in the United States for the last 50 years.

...PPM Proposal: Planned Giving PPM Proposal: Planned Giving Development Team Alpha NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM FOUNDATION 4/14/2012 Development Team Alpha NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM FOUNDATION 4/14/2012 Executive Summary “Planned Giving,” as proposed by the NAMF Board of Directors, is forwarding for consideration by the NAMF Governance Council with Development’s highest possible recommendation for immediate initiation. With the exception of “Aircraft Restoration,” this project should be given NAMF’s highest priority. While this will result in some delays in completing NAMF’s Corporate Giving project, the lack of corporate philanthropic support during the recession, coupled with the potential exponential increases in ROI, make “Planned Giving” a very lucrative and very low-risk endeavor. Application of Portfolio Process In a world of fast paced technology and stiff competition, companies need a formalized approach and method for maximizing their portfolios, programs and projects, by assessing their impact on the business and the company’s capability to deliver. In developing and implementing such a process it is important to understand and evaluate the existing project inventory against a set of predefined criteria established by the portfolio management team. Excising non-aligned, redundant or those projects that do not provide value will release scarce resources for better opportunities. (Wiley, 2011). A firm understanding is thus required of what projects are in work...

...Luana Bulseco Professor Joseph G. Smith MGMT 3100 May 2, 2013 Green Mountain Coffee Roasters: A Good Cup of Java In the beautiful mountains of Vermont, you will find the home of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (GMCR). In 1981, Robert Stiller, the company founder, while vacationing at a ski resort in Waitsfield, VT found a cup of coffee so good that he bought the company. At the time, Green Mountain was a small, specialty coffee store, and nobody would have imagined that GMCR would become one of the world's leading specialty coffee makers. Today GMCR is recognized for its award-winning coffees, innovative brewing technology, and socially responsible business practices. Reaching this point, however, was not easy and forced GMCR to master their marketing strategies in order to survive the competition. In a time and age when 'environmentally responsible' has become the latest buzzword in social and environmental responsibility is not a trendy marketing move. It is a key concept that has been part of the company's core commitment and values from the time when it was housed in a tiny storefront cafe. In fact, Green Mountain has been named one of the Top 100 Most Socially Conscious Corporations by Business, Inc. for two years running. The company's production plant has been certified organic since 1997, and they remain committed to offering high quality, completely organically grown coffee as a major part of their offerings. In addition to their commitment to organically...

...A. Topic This is a recommendation to start a new summer program for children with the purpose to encourage reading. The new program will be entitled “Read and Feed Crafts Program” and will be available to children ranging in age 18 months to 16 years. The children will receive a hot lunch, and a free library card. They could spend time reading, playing games, or learning different crafts. It also includes reading incentives for independent reading for reading to others. The program would run for six weeks between the hours of 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Suggestions for funding would include securing a Title I grant (Education, 2011). There are some low income families living in this neighborhood. In addition, the library could seek the assistance of volunteers to participate in the program. B. Purpose The purpose is to encourage the library to consider the idea of setting up this new program in the community during the summer time to encourage the children to enhance their reading skills and development of relationships with their peers. Summer is a great time to encourage children to read books. Reading will help to improve literacy skills and better prepare children for the upcoming school year. One of the best ways to get a child reading is to allow them to pick books they want to read about topics that interest them. Many of the children in the area of the library are from low income families and do not readily have the opportunity to experience something...

...Introduction The United States is the only major industrialized nation without universal health insurance. Over the years the inequities in access to care, quality, and the rising cost has led many Americans to be uninsured or underinsured. During 2007 and 2008, one out of three Americans under 65 was without health insurance. 86.7 million Americans were uninsured from 2007 to 2008 (Pifer-Bixler, 2009). The Foundation of Medical Relief, Inc. FMR was developed to be 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our goal is to ensure every community member in the greater Kansas City Metro area is compliant with the ACA health insurance coverage mandate by January 2014. We try to keep the uninsured and underinsured healthy by providing access to high quality, affordable health insurance for uninsured and underinsured in the greater Kansas City, Missouri area. Kansas City saw an increase in the number of uninsured children. As U.S. poverty rate grew in 2009, 20 percent more people need health care help. The number of uninsured Americans was 49.9 million in 2010 (Stafford, 2011). Everyone is at risk of being uninsured (Families USA, 2009). Therefore, we developed Foundation for Medical Relief, Inc. (FMR) with the vision as to foster and promote collaborative relationships; will develop partnerships with public and private health services agencies and the community in general enhance the administration of the health care act. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was made into law in March...

For the Federal government contracting with small businesses is common sense. Small businesses get the revenue they need to create jobs and drive the economy forward, and federal agencies get the creativity, innovation, and technical expertise of small businesses to help accomplish their mission.

...Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) (also known as external dispute resolution in some countries, such as Australia[1]) includes dispute resolution processes and techniques that act as a means for disagreeing parties to come to an agreement short of litigation. It is a collective term for the ways that parties can settle disputes, with (or without) the help of a third party. Despite historic resistance to ADR by many popular parties and their advocates, ADR has gained widespread acceptance among both the general public and the legal profession in recent years. In fact, some courts now require some parties to resort to ADR of some type, usually mediation, before permitting the parties' cases to be tried (indeed the European Mediation Directive (2008) expressly contemplates so-called "compulsory" mediation; attendance that is, not settlement at mediation). The rising popularity of ADR can be explained by the increasing caseload of traditional courts, the perception that ADR imposes fewer costs than litigation, a preference for confidentiality, and the desire of some parties to have greater control over the selection of the individual or individuals who will decide their dispute.[2] Some of the senior judiciary in certain jurisdictions (of which England and Wales is one) are strongly in favour of the use of mediation to settle disputes.[3] Please read: a personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales Read now Alternative dispute resolution From Wikipedia, the free...

...Policy Brief: Public and Private Partnerships Executive Summary: Public and Private Partnerships (PPP's) describes the partnership between the Public Sector (Government) and the Private Sector (Business) working together through financing, design, constructions, renovation, management or maintenance of infrastructures to provide public services for citizens. National, state, and local governments worldwide all face tremendous budget gaps and therefore are increasingly adopting Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) models as a means to provide critical infrastructure service delivery. As Public Administration Students it will be important for us to understand the role of PPP's as well as how to use them efficiently, relevant to Public Financial Management. It will also discuss the social, economical, and political factors that play a role in PPPs. Overall PPP's should be used because they provide much-needed capital for projects; they can also serve as models of efficiency and reliability and be champions of high levels of accountability and transparency. In addition, PPPs can be cost-effective and time efficient. Statement of Issue: How can Governments use PPP's effectively? Improving the delivery of services for "Wicked Problems" is a critical need for many governments. "Wicked Problems" often include emergency policy challenges in transportation, the environment, and health and human services (Battagilo) Background information: PPPs were initiated in the United Kingdom...

First, the BPYC expects the NATO conference to severely limit the BPYC’s income stream, which is normally generated from the aforementioned services. Second, the BPYC expects the NATO conference to have an impact on the BPYC’s membership development, which typically occurs in mid April. In light of these impacts, the BPYC asked to meet with an agent of the Coast Guard to discuss the BPYC’s expected losses and to arrive at a reasonable compensation. On April 20, 2012, a member of the Coast Guard’s offices in Cleveland, OH, on behalf of the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, telephoned the BPYC and confirmed the above understanding of the BPYC’s comment and its request. In light of the BPYC’s comment, the Coast Guard will not change the TFR published on April 13, 2012. Although the BPYC raised concerns about the economic impact of the Coast Guard’s security zones, the BPYC’s comment did not directly speak to the design, the establishment, or the enforcement of these security zones. The BPYC did not ask the Coast Guard to modify the security zones or to reconsider the manner in which they are enforced. Rather, the BPYC simply asked to meet with the Coast Guard to discuss compensation. While the Coast Guard takes seriously the economic impact that its rules might have on small entities, the Coast Guard is unable to provide compensation to small entities so impacted...
