...Nontraditional sources of funding, I think would be to commercial venture. Organizations could sell it services to people who can pay for them. Bequest program - having people leave money to the organization in their will. Affinity marketing- a store could its customers that they will put a certain portion of their profit towards the organization. Phoenix Homeless Agency needs funds to continue providing counseling to qualifying recipients, so they would need to come up with the best possible way to fund their efforts. They could try several fund raising strategies to do that such as Client donations, special events, and annual campaign. I think these would do best because you would think that with the economy being the way it is that donations would not come in but that is just not true. If you make it known would your cause is for and appeal to passionate people that want the same thing they will donate. Special events are another fundraising idea I think would work, especially raffles. The organization could have another organization donation something that people would want such as a gift cards, or maybe tickets to something, I say small things like this because they could have many company’s donate this and that way there are more prizes at the end which when you think about it more people will play. Annual campaign I think would be a good idea because the organization is not new so you would think that have had donors in the past that they could contact to make...

...interaction was non-existent. Two of five group members posted to the discussion area by Sunday. What I believe was an issue was that it was just a discussion instead of a group assignment. At least with a group assignment, like a paper, we would have to collaborate to complete a task for a grade. I cannot really answer many of the other questions pertaining to the group interaction because of the lack of participation. Although, in past experiences with Learning Teams, things go very well. I have experienced conflict within most of the Learning Teams in the beginning and only once they were not resolved by the end of the first assignment. Conflict Styles The conflicts can be constructive and destructive depending on the situation. The collaborative groups utilize conflicts as an opportunity to provide innovative solution for an issue. The leadership capability of the group leader can develop a strategy to avoid destructive conflicts in a group. The conflicts can be broadly categorized into five groups based on two dimensions which are concern for own goals and concern for group goals. When group members give low priority for own goals and low priority for group goals then it can be referred as avoidance style of the members. When an individual in group gives high priority for group goals and low priority for own goals then it can be treated as accommodation style. When a team member gives little priority for both own goals and group goals then it is compromise style. When an...

...MBA 2015 CLASS GIFT SCHOLARSHIP “The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team." Phil Jackson As quoted by Phil Jackson, the force lies in the unity and the achievements are made possible by a collaborative spirit or teamwork. To me, collaborative spirit is a fist where each finger contributes its unique ability to strengthen the fist. To build a better tomorrow for the world – teamwork, partnerships and collaboration is a must. The competency lies under embracing the benefits of mutual cooperation. There is a thin line between success and mere survival. I would rate an individual working and achieving as mere survival but the real success is when the achievements are made under the spirit of collaboration. Quoting Mr. Henry Ford - "Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”. Understanding different cultures, relishing them and drawing learning’s from them reveals the true essence of collaborative spirit. I consider myself fortunate to have gotten opportunities to hone this collaborative spirit in my formative years itself in various personal, professional and social spheres. As the school Head boy, organizing the annual day meant working with people of different ideas and philosophies. As the Student council head in college, having conducted national level fests involving 50+ participating colleges, having listened to students’ appeals and having obtained...

...Collaborative Fund- Raising Activity Phoenix Homeless Agency (PHA) is in need of funding to continue counseling for jobs for qualified participants. Having access to traditional contracts is necessary to get funding from other sources. A search has started on behalf of PHA by using different means of communication, such as the internet and networking in the community. Three options have been presented to have higher resources and lower cost. Contacting local businesses for donations or sponsorships, fundraising campaigns, and federal grants will be examined. Contacting local businesses for donations and sponsorship should be first on the list, because local agencies are kept abreast of funding that is generated within their agency, so therefore this information should be easier to obtain from the government or any federal agencies. Some of the local agencies are the United Way, United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), and Make A Wish. By using these agencies as an anchor, PHA will be able to receive federal and state grants. With these agencies being on board, there are grant writers who can write grants. Second, PHA will be able to get a grant writer who will write different grant proposals to state, local, and federal agencies concerning the current situation of the depletion of agency funds. Planning, seed money or start-up, program, and project support are all types of grants that are available. A program or project support grant is...

However, its activities spans across other systems and they form partnership with other organizations, giving referrals to clients to get the essential services that they cannot provide, and further serving as advocates for the clients to these other organizations. The referrals services may include; medical evaluation, legal assistance, behavior management, transportation and in-home assistance, supportive counseling and support groups for caregivers and more (City of Inglewood, n.d.). Partnerships also exist between the center and certain donor groups and funding agencies, who buy into the idea and seek to give back to the community.

...more audacious terror operations over years, suggests a well-developed pattern of organizational learning. Hezbollah focus was to create a terrorist organization that promotes the doctrine associated with radicals in the Islamic nation, namely the Shiites . This was all concocted by their fearless leader Ayatollah Khomeini, who departed life in 1989. Hezbollah started as a local group in Lebanon, and today has grown globally into political movement with global capabilities in the sphere of terrorism, a well-developed military apparatus, and destructive weapons that include land-to-land missiles. Hezbollah operates from three major areas, Lebanon, Palestine and on a global arena. This terrorist group relies heavily a network of collaborative recruits. Recruits are mainly from Shiite-Muslim communities worldwide, including the United States and South America. This network is meant to serve a number of purposes: gathering operational intelligence on Israeli / Jewish / Western targets; maintaining “latent cells” that can be activated in time of need and in accordance with the strategic considerations of the organization...

...downturn in the United States has been intensifying every month since September 2008, and it is having significant impacts on numerous nonprofit organizations (NPOs). It is now clear that this financial crisis is more severe than anything we have experienced in over 50 years; it is affecting every sector of the economy. Managers of NPOs are facing numerous obstacles while having to face an increase in the vital services they provide to the public. The most critical issue is the lack of funding. The effects of the economic recession are spurring NPO leaders and their funders to create and apply innovative fundraising projects, collaborate together and to deeply analyze federal packages and plans for support. Although raising funds in today's tight economy is a challenge, some nonprofits are doing better than others. Organizations that are doing well have numerous amounts of revenue sources and many ways for donors to give, they spend more time and personal effort in building relationships with their donors, have refocused on the importance of developing staff, resources, and programs, and are simply looking to do more, not less (Borning, 2010). NPOs have suffered from the downturn in 2008 and 2009 but the fact is even tougher financial times have come since then for many nonprofit organizations, especially larger organizations that rely heavily on government grants and contracts (Kerr, 2010). Fifteen regional NPO agencies were surveyed with open ended questions...

... As chairman, it is Bill’s job to lead the other board members from varying points of view or decisions to making decisions that are in the best interests of the organization he presides over. Finally, it is Bill’s job to set the overall direction and strategy of the organization. For Bill, McClelland’s Need Theory is most appropriate considering his position on the proposed merger. This theory comprises of three needs; the need for achievement, the need for affiliation and the need for power. The need for achievement is to accomplish something difficult (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). Bill has two primary concerns regarding the merger. One is the financial strength of the opera versus the symphony. The opera had established a reserve fund and as a result was more financially stable and had a more flexible business model. Second, is that the opera could potentially become a tier one arts organization as a result of the merger but in doing so could also potentially lose its identity. Bill could look at these two challenges as something worth accomplishing. Historically, there haven’t been a lot of these types of successful mergers. This would be a key pivotal moment in Bills career. If successful, then his career would most likely continue to grow. If the integration of the two organizations results in failure, then his job and those within the two organizations would most likely suffer. Once the merger was made public in 2002, the hope was that by combining the two organizations...

...best in stakeholders. This can be accomplished by relying heavily on the School Transformation Team (STT) in a collaborative effort with the administration. Professional development for the STT is a great way to empower the team, and provide opportunities for members of the team to lead out in the school, instead of me as the principal trying to micro manage people. For example, I share some areas of concern with the team, then receive feedback through their thoughts and actions for possible solutions. I don’t know anyone who likes to be micromanaged, although there are times when I’m direct if a teacher’s performance isn’t where it should be, then I take more control of the situation. Anytime the leader can provide autonomy with staff, I think teachers are more willing to work alongside the administrator with buy-in. As the building leader, I build clarity and expectations for all staff, which empowers stakeholders to rise to those expectations. My actions have been demonstrated in empowering the intervention team by providing team members with a Check & Connect form, which is a tool mentors used to track checking and connecting with their mentees. I provided the form, then empowered mentors to complete the form in their own manner, including developing a schedule to interact with their mentee and keep their own case notes. B2.
