...A Foundation 1 Analysis of a Foundation Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation By: Nonprofit Org. Management: PA 571 Professor: August 19,2012 The name of the organization I chose is Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation http://gatesfoundation.org/. Introduction Today’s recession has forced human service agencies and the government to become partners in order to serve the poor. Government funding and grants have decreased and the needs of the poor have increased. According to an 2010 Urban Institute study on nonprofits, the government depends on nonprofit human service agencies to serve the poor (Boris, 2010). Consequently, human service agencies depend on government funding and grants. A financial shift have caused human service agencies to lose funding or cause the agencies to operate waiting on late payment schedules from the government that result in many organizations having to close their doors to needy people. Well known human service agencies such as Chicago’s Jane Adams Hull House, YMCA, domestic violence shelters, childcare facilities, soup kitchens and organizations serving the youth population have stopped providing programs and services because they do not have the budget to pay for the programs. Although many nonprofit human service agencies are funded by the government, a human service organization must compete to get a piece of the dwindling funding pie for its human service programs. The key assumption of this paper is because of the unreliability of government...

...Running Head: Foundations of Human Development in the Social Environment 1 Foundations of Human Development in the Social Environment Loreen Pettola BSHS/325 October 7, 2013 Maria Perrota MA, Med, Doctorial Candidate Foundations of Human Development in Social Environment 2 Human diversity is the difference among people and how those differences make an effect on society. These differences can include biological, social, and cultural differences. Diversity and Cultural Competence Two recent events have made the need for “cultural competence”— understanding the specific cultural, language, social and economic nuances of particular people and families—more important than ever. One is the civil rights movement that began in the 1950s, in which African Americans, women, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities, and other minority groups alerted the country to their distinct identities and long histories of oppression. The other is the growing number of new immigrants to this country, who bring with them unique cultural, language, religious, and political backgrounds. Histories of internal displacement within their own countries, torture, political oppression, and extreme poverty abound among immigrant communities. Melding these backgrounds with the history, experiences, and expectations of U.S. born ethnic and diverse populations creates both challenges and opportunities for social workers. It is fair to say that both helping professionals and society at...

...Problems Facing Human Services Clients Lizabeth J. Justus - Routson BSHS – 305 September 18, 2014 Dr. Robert Vado The Range of Problems Facing Human Service Clients Client problems are rarely limited to just one, single issue. One problem alone can lead to other problems and the human service helper should always keep this in mind so that specific helping skills can be implemented to serve the clients’ needs. These problems can range from housing, food, physical or mental illness, alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, Veteran’s issues and child or family issues. All of these issues are multi-faceted and can be very difficult to help with. (R. Woodside & T. McClam, 2011) Assisting with client’s problems requires gaining the trust of the client. This is important for gathering information so the helper can give the best and most effective help they can. (R. Woodside & T. McClam, 2011) to do this, a human service professional uses helping skills to assist their clients. Some of the basic skills are verbal and non-verbal communication, and listening and responding. These are the foundations to the human service professional and client relationship. Used correctly, they can help form an easy flow of helpful information and an effective helping relationship with the client. Problems The range of problems facing human service clients is multi-faceted. No one person has just one problem, and there are plenty of clients to...
