What Do You Think?





Nonprofit organizations have been around since the time bishops were translating the King James Version of the Bible. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are still around today fulfilling the same basic missions: Education, Healthcare, Assisting the poor, etcetera. Helping othere is paramount for nonprofit organizations designed to create a social change in the community. Moreover, even though they fulfill a mission that is over 400 years old, they unequivocally operate much differently than in the 1600s and earlier. While there ar many other factors, the authors of this blog chose to talk about some of the key things that influenc these adjustments. The foundamental influence is "change." Everything in life must change, and when it comes to nonprofit organizations, that change conveys because of polotical, economic and cultural forces. Change also comes because of the increasing knowledge of humanity. In the 21st Century, organizations are able to expand the reach of their missions on platforms such as the Internet. In addition, they are able to share conveniently, and make available immediately, information about the organization and how their charitable resources are being used. The authors of this blog believe that the availability of information about an organization, coupled with the missionof the nonprofit organization, financial resources and utilization of volunteers are all key factors for nonprofit success and limitless years of existence as a sector in the American economy.
