Introduction: Background: In modern world, small and medium entrepreneurs often find it hard to finance their ventures. People with innovative business plans and products often struggle to finance the required investment to start a business. The idea of “Business Angel” is a few people who have surplus money and knowledge, invest money in new small and medium enterprises to help them to start a business. “Crowdfunding” is a new concept and more similar to “Business Angel” except the fact that in crowd funding donations are collected from a large numbers of individual donors for a cause or for the startup of a business or for charity works. Crowdfunding became popular when a musician from Boston, USA launched “Artistshare” in 2003 to finance the production costs of the Music albums that will only be sold over the Internet. Since then many Internet based platforms were established to help the entrepreneurs or people to collect donations from individual donors for their cause or business or for social causes (Schwienbacher & Larralde, 2010). In recent times, most of the charity organizations are collecting fund from general public over the internet. Even present President of United Stated of America, Mr. Barak …show more content…
Almost all charity organizations operating internationally, are raising funds via crowdfunding. Now-a-days people have chosen crowdfunding as the best way to raise funds for social causes and events related to general awareness or social gathering. From funding someone’s medical fees or educational fees to raise funds to fight with natural disasters of a country. If we look at the latest event that just occurred in Nepal, a major earthquake hit Nepal on 25th April 2015 and it is feared that more than ten thousand people died. To send humanitarian aids in Nepal, almost all NGOs are raising funds via crowdfunding. Individuals are donating their money through
Many people have begun to question how they use the money they raise. About 81% of their funds are put towards their programs and services, while more reputable charities are usually
Non-Profit organizations are a major mold in society in general, and they continue to help advance many of the social causes of our time. From the description, we know that employee and volunteer morale is quite low, and that is the fault of the senior management. In an organization, it is important that each individual knows that they are contributing to something larger than themselves. In many cases, employees seek to work somewhere where they can earn a living, but also where they can become a member of a team, and feel a sense of purpose. When they are not treated with respect or given the ability to make their own decisions, they lose engagement and become stagnant in their work. Volunteers look for much of the same thing; they are, after
This paper will discuss a case study of Pritesh, a 26 years old man who is transferred from the emergency department (ED) to the high dependency unit (HDU) with the developing of a tension pneumothorax. Initially, a general description of the patient’s chief complaint which is tension pneumothorax will be introduced, following by assessments of the patient’s need.

Case introduction: A 19 year-old gentlemen, SS, presented to station 20N through the emergency department, following what was described by friends and family as “bizarre behavior.” SS had recently begun college at a local liberal arts school. He had done well during the first semester, but began to struggle academically during the second semester. Family attributed the decline in academic success to an increase in class size, which made SS uncomfortable. Several weeks prior to hospital admission, SS became increasingly isolated, spending the majority of his time in the dorm room and less time in class. Friends and roommates reported that SS was exhibiting bizarre behavior, often confiding in friends that he was being “spied on” by others and that people around him could “read his thoughts.” SS also endorsed a strange delusion in which those around him would blink simultaneously as a form of communication. All of the aforementioned events became overly distressing to SS and his family, so they sought medical help. SS had a limited psychiatric history for which he had seen a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist had put him on an anti-psychotic medication some months prior, but SS self-discontinued the medication after just a several week trial. As a result of the above, and a lack of explanation regarding the past psychiatric referral, the events were described as “first-episode psychosis.” Discussion regarding the diagnostic work-up followed.
1. Identify the dilemma you are discussing and describe the choices the decision maker is facing.
Most people feel that they should help the needy in some way or another. The problem is how to help them. This problem generally arises when there is a person sitting on the side of the road in battered clothes with a cardboard sign asking for some form of help, almost always in the form of money. Yet something makes the giver uneasy. What will they do with this money? Do they need this money? Will it really help them? The truth of the matter is, it won't. However, there are things that can be done to help the needy. Giving money to a reliable foundation will help the helpless, something that transferring money from a pocket to a man's tin can will never do.
...ns. Overall global poverty is an issue with no clear answer. Each day, millions of people die and go to bed hungry while millions of others spend money on nonessential items.

Grant writing is usually required to secure money in nonprofit organizations for an organizing campaign. However, grants from national and local governments are not guaranteed with the competition with other nonprofit organizations for funding and possible government spending budget cuts. A possible solution would be fundraising. This would limit the dependency on grant funders and foundations.
In the United States a charitable foundation is an organization which has formalized the process of relieving poverty, advancing education, supporting disaster relief, and/or assisting with community projects. Charities are non-profit organizations which can take the form of either a non-operating private foundation (trusts) or operating foundation (public charities). When many of us hear of a tragic event that hits close to home, we give our support with an open heart in order to help others in need. Unfortunately, with this act of kindness we could be creating an environment that is highly vulnerable for fraud perpetrators and fake charity scams.
Increasingly, not-for-profit organisations have taken to emulating the moneymaking practices of corporations. This trend has three primary causes: the decrease in funding from the public sector, the increase in competition for funds among an expanding number of not-for-profit organisations and the rise in funder pressure for not-for-profit organisati...
While images of starving orphans may touch the hearts of wealthy westerners, those same images may be deceiving the viewers to achieve higher donation rates. The cash is then distributed in a way that the organizations see fit. The donor learns nothing about the political and economical structure in the third world country that they have “supported,” and they continue about their day with no knowledge of where their money actually ended up. There is a lack of education, and as a result the financial gap between the rich and the poor continues to increase.
